Once the prime district to find antiques and ancient art, Insadong remains at the heart of Seoul's cafe culture. The main street, which the municipality blocks off on weekends to allow for safe pedestrian traffic, branches off into narrow alleys, lined with art galleries, teahouses, and garden restaurants. Traditional and modern Korean art are available for viewing and purchase at over 100 local galleries. Munch on taffy and pajeon (Korean pancake) from street vendors while you explore. Plan my trip to Seoul with suggested itineraries provided by Inspirock.

Lively vibes. Good for shopping & many eateries too but do take note that many restaurants close from 3-5pm for a short break. Take a stroll & enjoy the street performances.

Beautiful touristy and hip walking street in Seoul where you'll find lots of traditional deco houses, art galleries, artists, and traditional souvenirs and teahouses. It is very good to buy those kinds of stuff. It is one of my favorite places to visit!
