On a weekend evening just before Christmas, I visited the Seoul Finance Center (SFC) to enjoy some fresh air and the holiday atmosphere.
Located right next to Cheonggyecheon, SFC is a great place to enjoy both indoor comfort and outdoor scenery, especially during winter.

โจ Christmas Decorations & Festive Mood
As soon as I arrived, I noticed the beautiful Christmas decorations throughout the building.
The lights and ornaments created a warm, cozy atmosphere without feeling overwhelming.
Itโs a great place to take photos and enjoy the holiday season with family or friends.

We stopped by Coffee Bean, ordered our favorite drinks, and sat near the indoor terrace to enjoy the Christmas vibe while staying warm indoors.

๐ Convenient Parking
One big advantage is that many restaurants and cafes offer parking discounts.

๐ Cheonggyecheon Walk & Performances
From the first floor, you can walk directly to Cheonggyecheon Stream.
During our visit, there was a musical performance featuring a man wearing traditional Korean clothing, along with festive lights, traditional style figures, and Christmas decorations.
With so many people around, the area truly felt like a holiday festival.
