In the heart of Gangnam, hidden spots provide office workers with peaceful breaks and walks. These quiet spaces, free from tourist crowds, offer locals a comforting sanctuary amidst busy schedules.



Gangnam, one of Seoul's busiest business districts, often conjures images of towering buildings and hurried crowds. However, Gangnam is not just a bustling, modern urban area—it also offers serene natural spaces for relaxation and healing. For foreign tourists visiting Gangnam who are seeking experiences beyond shopping, we recommend exploring the healing spots beloved by local office workers.

Alt Tab Space spans across 8 themed interactive exhibition studios, not only in Seoul, Busan, and Incheon but also in Osaka, Kyoto, and Paris, France. Visits are reservation-based, and the themed rooms, each charmingly designed with its own unique appeal, make it an especially recommended spot for tourists who love taking photos.

From French-inspired interiors with a Japanese twist to concepts that evoke warm Korean nostalgia, Alt Tab Space offers both visual enjoyment and endless photo opportunities. Additionally, it provides costume rental services, allowing visitors to style themselves as the 'protagonist' of the room and capture memorable moments.
