Directions

The office is in central Seoul in the Jung-gu neighborhood.  It’s a convenient 10-minute walk from the nearest station of Seoul’s splendid subway. The office is 50 meters from the Canadian Embassy, which may be a familiar landmark to some.

• By subway

  Good general info on Seoul’s subway system.

  Take Line 5 to Seodaemun Station, Exit 5. At the top of the escalator, see an elevated road. Keeping the elevated road on your left, walk straight on the main road, up a gentle hill about 300 meters. At the Dunkin Donuts, turn right onto x Street. Walk about 200 meters, crossing the street when it’s safe. Take the first left (the Canadian Embassy is on the corner),  and walk up a short hill for 50 meters. On your left, see a 20-story building with a tree in the center of a parking loop. Enter through the revolving door. Walk to your right and look for the elevator that says “1-20″. Take it to the 19th floor and buzz the door.
