THE FOUNTAIN
A World Record Over the Han River
Opened in 2009, the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain sprays water from both sides of Banpo Bridge along 1,140 m of the river — and in 2008 Guinness registered it as the world’s longest bridge fountain.
Each show is choreographed to music from a playlist of 164 songs, and after dark the water glows in rainbow colours under the bridge lights — one of Seoul’s most loved free night experiences.
Come at night — the rainbow only truly shines after dark.

GOOD TO KNOW
Quick Questions
Is the fountain show free?
Yes — it’s completely free and there’s no booking. Just turn up at Banpo Hangang Park before show time.
When does the 2026 season end?
The fountain runs from March 15 to the end of October, so the last shows of 2026 are at the end of this month. It returns next spring.
Day or night — which show is better?
Night. The 12:00 show is fine, but the rainbow lighting only appears after dark, so the 7:30–9:00 PM shows are the ones to see.
Anything else on nearby this week?
Yes — Sunday, October 25 is the final Car-Free Jamsugyo festival day (2–10 PM, free) on the bridge right below the fountain, with food trucks and music.
