Getting to Val:U is straightforward, even on your first day in Seoul. The clinic is on Myeongdong-gil, the main pedestrian street of the Myeongdong shopping district, and sits within a few minutes' walk of two subway lines. Whether you are staying in a nearby hotel, coming from Gangnam, or arriving from the airport, this page explains how to reach us by subway, taxi or car, along with our opening hours and the easiest ways to contact the team if you get lost on the way.
Walking from Myeongdong Station (Line 4)
Line 4, the light blue line, stops at Myeongdong Station. Take Exit 6 and walk into the Myeongdong shopping streets toward Myeongdong-gil. The clinic is roughly 340 m from the exit, usually a walk of about five minutes depending on crowds.
Look for building number 32 and take the elevator to the 4th floor. If the street is busy with food stalls in the evening, allow a few extra minutes.
Walking from Euljiro 1-ga Station (Line 2)
If you are on Line 2, the green circle line, get off at Euljiro 1-ga Station and use Exit 5 or Exit 6. From there, head south into Myeongdong. The walk is about 350 m. This route is handy if you are coming from Hongdae, Gangnam or City Hall, all on Line 2.
Arriving by taxi, airport bus or car
For taxis, show the driver the address in Korean: 서울 중구 명동길 32, 4층. Many drivers will know the Myeongdong area well, though the pedestrian streets may mean being dropped at a nearby corner.
From Incheon Airport, airport limousine buses and the AREX train to Seoul Station connect easily to Line 4 for Myeongdong. If you drive, public parking is available nearby; parking fees are set by the operator, not by the clinic.

Opening hours and planning your visit
The clinic is open every day of the week. Monday to Friday hours are 10:30 to 20:30, and Saturday and Sunday hours are 10:00 to 17:00. Weekday evenings are convenient after work or sightseeing, and weekends suit short trips.
Leave some buffer time on your first visit for registration and consultation. If you plan to shop in Myeongdong afterward, note that some treatments may leave temporary redness, so sunscreen and a hat can be useful.
Landmarks near our Myeongdong dermatology clinic
The clinic is surrounded by familiar Myeongdong sights, which makes it easy to orient yourself. Major department stores, cosmetics flagship shops and the evening street-food stalls are all within a few blocks. Myeongdong Cathedral is a short walk to the east, and N Seoul Tower on Namsan is visible from many corners of the district.
If you are staying in a hotel in Myeongdong, Euljiro or around City Hall, walking is usually the simplest option. Maps apps popular in Korea, such as Naver Map or KakaoMap, tend to give more accurate walking directions than some international apps.
