What travellers are saying
- Cam B1 contributionWe had a great time exploring Myeongdong Shopping Street! The lively atmosphere, colorful shops, and street food stalls made it so much fun. From beauty products to trendy clothes, there was so much to see and buy. The delicious tteokbokki and hotteok were a highlight. Highly recommended!Written 14 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 3DMatrixLondon, UK757 contributionsInsadong was one of the most interesting areas we explored. The main street, Insadong-gil, is lined with shops selling traditional crafts, tea houses, art galleries, and restaurants, while the smaller alleys hold the real gems—from modern galleries to cozy tea shops.
Historically, it was Korea’s largest market for antiques and artwork. Elements of its past are clearly still retained through its modernization, with its cultural charm shining through. Exploring the backstreets with our local tour guide felt far more authentic and gave us a glimpse of the “real” Insadong.
With its eclectic mix of venues, styles, and price ranges, Insadong has something for everyone. It’s a great place to stroll, discover, and soak up Korean culture—trendy yet full of character, and well worth a visit.Written 14 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would suggest the cafe situated on 35-35 Samcheong-dong, Jongno District, Seoul.Written 20 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MikeOrlando, FL145 contributionsSituated between Insadong and Jongmyo Shrine, this is part of Ikseon-dong Hanok Village. I feel this is a very convenient but underrated neighborhood. This delightful section of the city features both traditional hanok-style buildings and modern architecture. Photogenic restaurants, lovely coffee bars, and colorful boutique shops line the pleasant narrow alleys. This section of town contains some of my favorite dining locations, Songam Onban restaurant and Cheongsudang Bakery. I recommend checking both out if you're in the area. However, there are numerous lovely cafes and restaurants here, so you will have plenty of options. I would definitely recommend visiting this captivating little neighborhood which felt less crowded and more charming than the nearby Insadong Culture Street.Written 13 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A fun place to walk around for an afternoon. The highlight selfie spot is the Angel wings at the lower level.Written 12 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GlobetrotterJ16Seoul, South Korea2,002 contributionsThis hank town is a real town, i.e. hanok houses in which people live, it is not a museum or something like that. The area gets quite crowded as the houses are quite nice and there are a few famous cafes there, some also with a nice view of Bukhansan National Park. The area is actually not far from the center of Seoul, even with taxi about USD 15 to get to City Hall. when at this hanok village take lots of pics and go to one of the cafes and enjoy a pastry and coffee. No matter weekday or weekend, it is a busy area.Written 22 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LG_KaySingapore, Singapore7,512 contributionsDaehangno is well known for the theatre in Marronnier Park, the Naksan Park, and Ihwa Mural Village. The closest subway to these places is Hyehwa Station. The theatre is the centre where many people gather to watch and enjoy free outdoor performances which are performed by students or young people on weekends. There are many restaurants and cafes to keep the night lively.Written 6 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 이 현1 contributionI went to Haebangchon last month.
I've traveled to Seoul a lot, It's my first time going to Haebangchon in Yongsan-gu.
Haebangchon has a variety of food, bars, and cafes with good views. September was not cool and humid. So I went into the Shinheung Market located in Haebangchon and ate wine and snacks that match it
Haebangchon Village, where you can see Namsan Tower in front of you and enjoy cool alcohol, is one of the places you want to go again.Written 22 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
