Jjimjilbang (Spa Rex Dongdaemun)Dongdaemun 245
Photo: MyKorTripA jjimjilbang is a large Korean sauna where people relax for hours with family or friends. After soaking in the single-sex bathhouse, you change into the provided clothes and move to shared lounges to sweat in hot rooms, nap on the heated floor and snack.
Spa Rex Dongdaemun, in the basement of the Goodmorning City fashion mall, is open 24 hours and popular with international visitors. It has hot rooms (hanjeungmak) at different temperatures, saunas, rest areas and a snack bar, and Korean-style body scrubs are available for an extra fee. You can store luggage, so some travellers stop by before or after a late flight or a night of shopping in Dongdaemun.
