Ssamziegil

#seoul Ssamzigil which is opened on December 2004 in Insadong which is the iconic street well-known of line-up antique shops and folk art galleries. It is located in 44 Insadong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul and is open daily from 1030-2030. The nearest subway stations are Anguk (Line3) and Jonggak (Line 1) with couple of minutes walk. Ssamziegil is a uniquely designed spiral building which is probably the prettiest in Insadong, you do not require escalators or stairs to bring you up to next level, they connect each charming level together in the form of a spiraling beautifully decorated walkway. Enjoy window-shopping in the cozy stores until you reach the top, Sky Garden. There are over 70 shops including handicraft stores, souvenir shops, art galleries, restaurants and more. If you take the staircase, notice the interesting rose stem that climbs from the basement to the roof of the building. There is also a lot of sloppy hand drawn writing and graffiti on the wall that add to the uniqueness of Ssamzigil.
