One of the palaces located in Seoul. Less people than the main one on the other side. Highly suggest to go on a weekday to avoid many tourists.
Hanok means traditional Korean houses. This area is hilly so wear something comfortable and walk around for a bit! There are tea houses and little shops in renovated hanoks.
One of Seoul's gentrified areas. There are tons of cute cafés, and great kbbq restaurants in little hanoks that haven't been changed since the 1920s.
Very touristy, but a nice 360 view of Seoul. I highly suggest to take the cable car to get up here if you're too lazy to walk up the mountain. I also suggest going around sunset.
Designed by Zaha Hadid, DDP is the epicenter of all things design. I would dedicate an afternoon to this place as there's a market, museum, and a lot of spaces that you can walk through.
Dedicate at least one afternoon to check out the museum, because it has 3 sections. Get the audio tour as well, since they don't have any description of the art there. Closed on Mondays.
You MUST come here. It's quite the experience. The food is absolutely delicious as well. Things to try out: mungbean pancakes, kimbap, oden, dumplings, chicken feet (dak bal).
Really cute coffee shop. The surrounding areas also have a lot of great coffee shops as well.
A BEAUTIFUL space. There's a coffee shop that serves Bonanza Coffee from Berlin. There's also a great shop inside. Downstairs is a cute little bakery as well.
The owners are fashion designers with a passion for architecture and interior design, who wanted to create a creative space for locals to relax and get inspired.
Another extremely cute coffee shop in a hanok within Iseokdong.
Love this place. It has 3 floors, and a great place to coffice. It's super duper quiet and chill. Very meditating.
