1. Christmas Market Dates and Location

The official event name is the 2026 Lotte Town Christmas Market.

It's held outdoors at the Lotte World Tower World Park (롯데월드타워 월드파크) grass square, not inside Lotte World Mall.

This year's market recreates a winter scene from a British street, featuring a 56-foot (17m) tall clock tower, a grand Christmas tree, and a two-story carousel.

Jamsil Station (잠실역) on Lines 2 and 8 offers convenient access. Since it's an outdoor event, if you plan to visit in the evening, be sure to bring gloves and hand warmers!

2. Advance Booking Schedule and Ticket Comparison

Reservations are divided into three phases, depending on your desired visit period.

If you're hoping to visit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, aim for the 3rd phase booking on 12/07/2026.

Tickets are categorized as follows:

If you just want to browse casually, the General Admission is perfect. If you want to skip the queues, consider the Fast Pass.

4. Jamsil Date Course: Exploring Together

If you're heading to Jamsil to explore the Christmas Market, consider planning a full date course that includes a visit to the Seoul Sky (서울스카이) observatory.

A great itinerary would be to enjoy the Seoul city views from the observatory during the day, have a meal or coffee at Lotte World Mall, and then experience the illuminated market in the evening.
