Sky Exchange
The go-to currency exchange in the heart of Myeongdong
A Location Easy to Find in the Heart of Myeong-dong
Myeong-dong is one of the most familiar areas for travelers visiting Korea, and naturally, many currency exchange shops are concentrated here. SKY Exchange sits right along Namdaemun-ro in the center of Myeong-dong, making it easy to find even for first-time visitors. According to official registration records, it is a licensed money exchange business located at 52-13 Namdaemun-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, 1F 105, positioned between Myeong-dong Station, Euljiro 1-ga Station, Lotte Department Store Main Branch, and Lotte Young Plaza.
From Myeong-dong Station, the simplest route starts at Exit 5. Walking straight ahead brings you to a small alley on the right. Following this alley leads to a red-brick building—the Embassy of China. When the red building appears in view, turning left into the side alley immediately reveals the SKY Exchange sign on the right. It is an uncomplicated route even for travelers who are unfamiliar with the area.

From Euljiro 1-ga Station, the route is equally intuitive. Leaving through Exit 6 and following the main road brings you past Lotte Department Store and Lotte Young Plaza, opening up to a major intersection where Starbucks and Shinsegae Department Store can be seen across the street. Without crossing the road, entering the alley to the left will lead you directly to SKY Exchange, which appears shortly on the left-hand side. The large storefronts and clear signage in this district make it convenient for international visitors to navigate.

From the Namdaemun Market area, walking uphill toward Myeong-dong naturally leads to Namdaemun-ro. Following the road toward Myeong-dong, the building housing SKY Exchange becomes visible without much effort. Since many travelers walk between the market and Myeong-dong, exchanging currency here requires virtually no additional planning.

A Convenient Stop When You Need Cash Mid-Trip
SKY Exchange is better suited for travelers who need cash during the early or middle stages of their trip, rather than at the end of their journey. Throughout a stay in Korea, there are frequent occasions that still require cash, such as markets, street vendors, coin lockers, and small shops. Because most visitors pass through Myeong-dong at least once a day, it is practical to obtain additional cash here without altering your itinerary.

Once the exchange is complete, there is no need to plan a new route. Being in the center of Myeong-dong means you can immediately continue shopping, explore street food stalls, or relax at a nearby café. The ability to return to your original schedule without any disruption is a reassuring advantage for many travelers.
