How should the share of Seoul attractions closed on Mondays be read?
It is 31.0% or 44.9%, depending on the denominator. The first uses all 506 places on the list, the second the 350 that state a closing day.
The second is the right one for comparing places whose closing day is known. Among those, Monday closing is the largest group.
On the same denominator, weekend or Sunday closing is 21.1%, open all year 18.0% and other days 16.0%. The four values add up to 100%. Places with an empty column are outside this calculation.

What kinds of places are the Seoul attractions closed on Mondays?
By tag, "전시" (exhibitions) is the most common with 41, followed by "미술관" (art museums) with 26 and "박물관" (museums) with 25.
| Tag (as in the source) | Closed on Mondays |
|---|---|
| 전시 (exhibitions) | 41 |
| 미술관 (art museums) | 26 |
| 박물관 (museums) | 25 |
| 광화문 (Gwanghwamun) | 22 |
| 역사 (history) | 20 |
| 문화 (culture) | 19 |
Tags are the words written in the source. They are search keywords, not a classification, so one place carries several.
Of the 46 attractions tagged "박물관" (museums), 25 (54.3%) say they close on Mondays, as do 26 of the 35 tagged "미술관" (art museums), or 74.3%. Both shares are above the 31.0% for the whole list.
Could places with no entry also be Seoul attractions closed on Mondays?
Yes. 156 places (30.8%) leave the column empty, and the data does not show when they close.
An empty column means "not recorded", not "no closing day". The true number of places closed on Mondays may therefore be higher than 157.
Of the 156 places with an empty closing-day column, 40 have an entry in the operating-days column. An entry such as "Tuesday to Sunday" suggests the place does not open on Mondays, but Seoul Tourism and Medical Tourism Data grouped places by the closing-day column alone and did not add these to the Monday group.
How were Seoul attractions closed on Mondays identified?
From the text of the closing-day column in the source. An entry containing the Korean word for Monday counts as closed on Mondays, "open all year" or "none" as no closing day, and Sunday or weekend as weekend closing.
A place listing several days, such as Monday and the Chuseok holiday, is counted under Monday. Conditions such as "every Monday except public holidays" are not reflected in the grouping. Places that close only on the day of a traditional holiday are counted under other days.
The grouping only checks whether the words appear. Entries are written differently from place to place, so the result may differ slightly from reading each one by hand. The rule is Seoul Tourism and Medical Tourism Data's editorial choice and is not a classification found in the source. It is written out in the script that converts the data, so anyone can reproduce the result.
What should you check before visiting Seoul attractions closed on Mondays?
Check the closing day again in the place's own official information. The list is updated monthly, and the figures on Seoul Tourism and Medical Tourism Data are those of the file downloaded on 9 Oct 2026.
Some places open when Monday is a public holiday and close the next day instead. Such exceptions are written in the column for some places and not for others. Nearest subway stations are in Seoul Attractions by Subway Station.
For a Monday in Seoul, the 63 places listed as open all year and the 74 listed as closing at weekends are the ones likely to be open. That too is what the list says, and it does not reflect temporary closures or construction. The 156 places with an empty column have to be checked separately, since the list does not show whether they open.
