When it comes to traveling in Seoul, most people will first think of Hongdae, Sinsadong, Myeongdong and other busy areas, but in fact, Seochon in Jongno District is the place where many gentle textures are hidden.

If you are like me, the most anticipated thing when traveling is to find a quiet and beautiful place like a painting, then this "1 person 1 cup 1인1잔" cafe in Eunpyeong District, Seoul is really not to be missed. Although the location is a bit far from the city center, the view from the cafe not only allows you to see the traditional roofs of Eunpyeong Hanok Village, but also the magnificent Bukhansan Mountain in the distance. I ordered an iced American coffee with a small dessert. It was sweet and not greasy, and it made me feel so happy. 📷 Whether you want to take beautiful photos of Korean houses or just want to find a corner to rest quietly, this place is very suitable. The seats are spacious and not crowded, the atmosphere is quiet, and many locals come here to relax on weekend afternoons. 📍Tips: - There is a minimum consumption requirement in the store, and each person needs to order a drink; - It is recommended to go there on a sunny day, as the mountain view will be clearer and more spectacular; - There are fewer people in the afternoon on weekdays, so it is more suitable for leisurely enjoyment. 1 day 1 day Address: 서울 은평구 연서로 534 #CafeExplore #SeoulAttractions #KoreanLiteraryStyle #1인1잔 #KoreanCoffeeCulture #TravelDaily #MustVisitCafe #MarchGoodPlaces2025

I was taking a walk in Yeouido Han River Park and suddenly felt a little hungry. I passed by this MOM’S TOUCH and found that there was a queue outside! We knew it was a popular restaurant at first glance, so we lined up too, thinking we would have a small bite to eat before continuing on our way. After ordering fried chicken burgers and fries, I discovered that there was an outdoor seating area outside the store. It happened to be a cool day with a comfortable breeze. It was super relaxing to eat hot fried chicken while watching the glittering surface of the Han River. That beautiful moment of "just right" makes me feel good when I think about it now. #Yeouido Hangang Park #MOMSTOUCH #Korean fried chicken #Seoul free travel #Must-eats for Korean travel #Same attractions as Korean dramas #Korean picnic #Fried chicken addict #Korean petty travel #Travel notes #Seoul walking attractions #MarchGoodPlaces2025

This cafe hidden in the alleys of Myeongdong makes you feel like you are in the scene of a Seoul literary and artistic movie as soon as you walk in. The Sounds of Apple Café is located at 47 Myeongdong 8-gil, Jung-gu. It is less than 100 meters away from Exit 10 of Myeongdong Station on Subway Line 4. It is very convenient! I came here specifically for brunch. The store is not very big, but it is very tastefully designed. There is a lot of white space on the walls and ceilings, wooden tables and chairs, and warm lighting. The overall atmosphere is gentle and comfortable, and you can smell the sweet scent of apples. I ordered a brunch platter which was savory and slightly sweet, super satisfying! The drink is refreshing and not bitter, perfect for a simple and tasty morning meal during a trip I recommend that you spend a leisurely morning in this shop when you come to Seoul. Whether you are traveling alone and want to relax, or chatting with friends to replenish your energy, 사운즈오브애플 is a good place worth visiting again and again! #MyeongdongCafe #SeoulBrunchRecommendation #KoreanDesserts #사운즈오브애플 #SoundsOfApple #SeoulFreeTravel #KoreanLiteraryCafe #KoreaTravelDiary #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Korean contact lenses are really beautiful and natural. This time, I specially arranged to visit the popular brand Hapa Kristin's Myeongdong flagship store, which is a stop that will make girls' hearts burst. The whole store is decorated in a super dreamy pink color. Walking in is like entering a pink bubble world! The key point is that this brand is endorsed by Jang Won-young! ! This alone is a plus. There are so many styles to try on at the site, including daily and monthly disposables, and the colors are also very suitable for Asians to wear. I was so excited that day that I quietly stocked up a large bag. They also gave me a small mirror and lens case. The packaging is also super cute, which is perfect as a souvenir. 📍2-1 Myeongdong 8-ga (open until 10:30pm, so you can have a quick snack before going clubbing) Business hours: AM 10:30 - PM 10:30 (open all year round) I recommend this to friends who love wearing colored contact lenses like me! ✨👁️ #MarchGoodPlaces2025

When your feet are sore from shopping in Seoul, why not visit the HiKR GROUND in the Seoul Center of the Korea Tourism Organization? It is not only a tourism promotion center that combines K-POP and media art, but also a great place to play, take photos and rest.

I originally just wanted to stroll leisurely in Hannam-dong, but I didn't expect that while climbing up the hill, I would accidentally walk into a dreamy cherry blossom rain. The alleys here are irregular and have many slopes. Although it was a bit breathless to walk, just as I was wiping the sweat off my face while climbing up, a super full cherry blossom tree appeared at the corner🌸! The sun shines through the flowers, it's as beautiful as a commercial, I couldn't help but scream with joy The charm of Hannam-dong is not just the quality selection shops and unique small cafes, but more importantly the sense of life where you can encounter surprises around corners. This "lost walk" made me realize that by not walking along the tourist streets, I can actually find the softest side of the city. Remember to wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes and save some energy for these beautiful scenery hidden high up! #Hannam-dong #Hannam-dong cherry blossoms #South Korea spring attractions #Seoul walking map #Cherry Blossom Alley #South Korea free travel #South Korea cherry blossom season #South Korea street photography attractions #Seoul alley travel #Hannam-dong cafe #Hannam-dong photo spots #Seoul no thunder #Seoul quality attractions #Travel diary #South Korea travel experience #MarchGoodPlaces2025

While visiting Seongsu Cave, I accidentally discovered this Kodak Corner Shop hidden in an alley. I originally thought it was just a small shop selling clothes and hats, but I didn’t expect there were so many surprises hidden inside! In addition to shopping, what attracts me most in the store is—— 📷 Free retro black and white photo experience machine! It's completely free and no appointment is required. Just press the shutter button to automatically take and print out black-and-white photos with a strong sense of nostalgia. It's a bit like the instant photos taken in photo studios in the 1980s, which really makes you want to take pictures one after another. The image is very textured, and it is very suitable for taking personal photos with friends, couples, or by yourself. 📌 There is also an area in the store where you can DIY print T-shirts and eco-friendly bags. People who like to create things by hand will definitely love it! The overall space is very uniquely decorated, and even the decoration is super photogenic. It is definitely the coolest store in Seongsu-dong! 📍 Kodak Corner Shop 성수동 Address: 서울 성동구 성수동2가 316-62 🕐 Opening hours: noon to evening #SeoulMust-visit #SeongsudongAttractions #KoreanFashionBrands #Kodak #RetroCheck-in #Black and White #DIYExperience #CoupleMust-visit #KoreaTravelShare #LiteraryAttractionsRecommended #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Walking in the residential area of ​​Hongdae, I thought it was just an everyday street scene, but I didn’t expect to encounter a minimalist yet powerful exposed concrete building. The exterior is like a sculpture in the city, and the sharp gray and white lines make people stop in their tracks. But when I pushed the door open, the whole visual impact instantly reversed! This cafe named CONHAS has a completely different interior style - exposed unfinished red brick walls, wooden tables and chairs full of design, every detail looks like a studio-level set, it is a paradise for photographers! Many Koreans need to queue up to order food. Because there are so many corners, each one is so beautiful that it is hard to choose. This place is not just about drinking coffee, it is more like a baptism of senses and aesthetics. If you are tired of walking in Hongdae, this is definitely a secret base for relaxation and replenishment of inspiration.

During this trip to Seoul, Seongsu-dong was the stop I fell in love with the most unexpectedly. Originally I just planned to stroll around, but once I walked in, it felt like I was walking into a three-dimensional lifestyle design magazine, and every corner could be savored. The old industrial-style factory has been transformed into a high-quality coffee shop, an independent bookstore, a fragrance selection store, a clothing brand showroom... No store is random. From the exterior of the building to the interior furnishings, every detail makes people want to stop and take a closer look. Like COOR, a design boutique, Daelim Changgo’s old factory-style space, and onion cafe’s retro red brick walls. Every place seems to be telling me a story. You don’t have to rush when walking here, just slow down and feel the integration of design and life with your eyes. Maybe this is why I fell in love with Holy Water - it is not the most bustling tourist area, but it has the most personality and soul. Next time I come to Seoul, I want to spend a whole day here and walk through more alleys and shops that I haven’t discovered yet. 📍 Seongsu-dong 🚇 Get off at Shengshui subway station and start exploring on foot 📷 Recommended route: Seongsu Station Exit 3 → COOR → Daelim Changgo → Layer 57 → Zagmachi → Seoul Angmusae #Seongsu #Seoul #Seoul Cave Exploration Shop #Korea Design Life #Niche Attractions Recommendation #Seoul Free Travel #Life Aesthetics #Must-visit for Design Fans #Korea Travel Diary #My Travel Diary #MarchGoodPlaces2025

I originally just wanted to take a walk from Myeongdong MRT Station, but I accidentally turned into Myeongdong Cartoon Street. I didn’t expect that there were not only colorful painted walls full of childlike fun, but also a path surrounded by bright flowers. As the sun shines, a whole row of flower walls bloom, in pink, yellow, and orange, and each one looks as if someone has taken special and careful care of it. I wonder if someone has planted tenderness for this lovely alley. I felt really healed at that moment. My feet were sore after a long day of traveling, but the moment I saw these flowers, my heart suddenly became so soft. The walls of the comic street are also painted with Korean comic characters, which are a bit childish and retro. They are super beautiful when paired with flowers for photos. This is not a popular check-in spot, but if you happen to come to Myeongdong, don’t rush to just walk the streets, remember to look into the alleys, maybe you will find a little surprise of your own. 📍 Myeongdong Cartoon Street 🚇 Subway Line 4 Myeongdong Station Exit 3 and walk about 3 minutes 🕒 Open all day (free walking space) 📷 Tips for taking photos: It is recommended to come in the morning or evening when the light is softer, and the cartoon characters and flowers on the wall are a big plus! #Myeongdong Alley Adventure #Seoul Travel #Korea Niche Attractions #Comic Street #Alley Flower Scenery #Romantic Moments of Travel #My Travel Diary # #Korea Check-in Attractions #myeongdong#Good Places to Go in March 2025

During my stroll in Seongsu-dong, I stumbled upon this amazing store called COOR, and it completely blew me away. The interior design is incredibly stylish, blending minimalism with intricate details—every corner is a feast for the eyes. From product displays to lighting and the overall ambiance, everything is thoughtfully curated to make you feel at ease. Every item exudes quality and style, making it a joy to browse! 📍 I’ll definitely come back here next time I visit Seongsu to take my time exploring. 📍COOR @ Seongsu-dong 🕒 11:00–20:00 🚇 Subway: Seongsu Station, 5-minute walk 💡 Card payments accepted, air-conditioned, photography allowed (but please keep noise levels down)

Speaking of the area where the most young people gather in Seoul, besides Hongdae, I actually like the "Sinchon (신촌)" area too! This is the junction of Yonsei University, Ewha Womans University, and Sogang University. It is very lively on weekdays and even more crowded on holidays. There are things to do and eat on the whole street when you get out of the subway station. It is very cost-effective. About a 5-minute walk from Shinchon subway station, a whole row of colorful painted walls suddenly appeared in the alleys. The walls were painted with fairy tales, dreamy hot air balloons, and local Korean illustrations. It made people feel great. Many couples and students took photos and checked in here. There are also many food recommendations! - Chuncheon Spicy Fried Chicken (춘천닭갈비): Fried on the spot, super delicious, eat with cheese or instant noodles is heaven - Alley Small Octopus Hot Pot: Very spicy, the small octopus is super fresh, and you can also add rice to make fried rice - You can walk to Ewha Womans University shopping district in the Sinchon area, and you can also visit clothing stores - The atmosphere is great at night, but the alleys are a little smaller, so remember to avoid the peak dining hours - Many restaurants do not have Chinese menus, but almost everyone has shared photos on Google Maps, so ordering food is not difficult! The new village is not only a place for students, it is also a favorite place for independent travelers like me. There is not too much commercial atmosphere, and you may find little surprises at every corner. Walking on the street is full of life. Whether you are a foodie, a hipster, or a photographer, you will love it! #New Village Must Visit #Seoul Painted Wall #Korea Food Map #Seoul Student Shopping District #Free Travel Recommendation # #Seoul Food Exploration #Seoul Walking Route #Korea Travel Diary #My Travel Map Diary #MarchGoodPlaces2025

This time when I came to Seoul to enjoy the cherry blossoms, I unexpectedly discovered a super dreamy path - right next to KBS Hall! It is not a popular cherry blossom viewing spot, but it is quietly filled with cherry blossoms. The moment you walk in, you really feel like you are walking into a Korean drama, especially when the wind blows and the petals fall, it is so beautiful that you can't help but slow down your pace. This road winds along the side of KBS. There are no crowds or commercial atmosphere, but instead it has a more leisurely and everyday vibe. No matter how you press the shutter, you will see beautiful pictures. I really recommend it to you if you don’t like crowds. Tips: • It is recommended to come in the morning or evening when there are fewer people and it is easier to take photos • There are also convenience stores and cafes nearby, so you can take a break when you are tired. • Remember to bring a light jacket, as Seoul in spring is still a bit cold in the mornings and evenings! If you are in Seoul during this cherry blossom season, you might want to take a trip to this low-key yet charming path. It’s a great place to take photos and check in! #MarchGoodPlaces2025

If you love taking photos like me and want to learn more about Korean culture, you definitely can’t miss this place! HiKR GROUND is a hospitality space located in the Korea Tourism Organization Seoul Center in Jung-gu, Seoul. The entire building is divided into multiple themed floors, combining K-POP, traditional Korean culture, immersive video experiences and art installations. Whether you are a fangirl, a hipster, or just want to take beautiful photos, this place is perfect for you! My favorite photo spots are the blue and white spiral staircase and several immersive projection exhibition rooms. No matter where you stand, you can take super dreamy photos. There is also a K-POP virtual stage where you can choose your favorite idol group background and stand on it to take pictures just like taking pictures with your idol (so cool!) In addition to taking photos, you can also try on Korean clothes and learn about tourist information of different cities in Korea. It is basically a complex space that combines information, entertainment and beauty! Recommendation index: ★★★★★ • Address: 40 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul (Korea Tourism Organization) • Transportation: Subway Line 1 Jonggak Station, about 5 minutes walk • Tickets: Free admission • Photo highlights: dreamy staircase, immersive exhibition room, K-POP stage • Tips: It is recommended to go on weekdays when there are fewer people and it will be more fun to take photos! #MarchGoodPlaces2025

I was attracted by this nostalgic shop at first sight. The wooden facade, straw umbrella shed, handwritten signs and nostalgic fonts make you feel like you have traveled back to Korea in 1979. This "풍년식당1979" specializes in Korean barbecue and traditional hot pot dishes, and the recommended menu outside the store will make you drool. Especially the neatly arranged pork belly and seafood platter, which is perfect for a few friends to come here to eat meat and chat loudly! My favorite is their grilled pork belly with sauce, which has a crispy outer layer and juicy inner layer. Paired with a sip of ice beer, there is only one word to describe it: awesome! There are also various Korean side dishes for free refills, and the service staff are also very friendly, making the whole dining process very enjoyable. If you are also a fan of Korean dramas, you must be familiar with this street barbecue style, as if you have walked into the scene in the drama. After dinner, you can take a walk around the nearby streets and experience the real "Korean daily life". Recommendation index: ★★★★★ • Location: Along the Boulevard in Seoul • Atmosphere: Retro and lifelike • Must-order: pork belly set meal, kimchi pot • Suitable for: friends gathering or couples dating #MarchGoodPlaces2025

If I could only choose one area to freely explore in Seoul, I would definitely choose Hongdae! This place is always full of the urge to "take pictures, buy, and stay." Compared to Sinsadong or Myeongdong, Hongdae has a more free-spirited and unconventional personality. This is not my first time to Hongdae, but I am still pleasantly surprised by the small shops that keep popping up. My favorite is the small alleys in the Yeonnam-dong area. The shops are very low-key and the doors are full of plants. Some stores will even let you DIY your own T-shirts, handmade soaps or scented candles, which is really fun. 📍How to get to Hongdae? Take Subway Line 2 to Hongik University Station, walk out from Exit 9 or Exit 3, and you will immediately enter the hot spot! 💡Tips: - It is recommended to arrange a whole afternoon to walk around the alleys, visit shops, take photos, and eat desserts - Outside Exit 3 of Hongik University Station is the information center, where you can get a Chinese map - There will be street performers after 6pm, which is very youthful - Some specialty shops do not allow taking photos, so please pay attention to the signs inside the store! #Must-visit in Hongdae #Free travel in Korea #Explore special shops #Seoul cultural attractions #Hongdae Yeonnam-dong #My travel diary #Korea shopping recommendations #Seoul niche attractions #Good places to take photos #Korean lifestyle aesthetics #MarchGoodPlaces2025

After walking all day, my feet were almost tired. I accidentally passed by this cafe and stopped in to sit down. I was so tired that day that I didn't want to walk too far, so I chose this Cafe Dolce which looked quite comfortable to take a break. The location is convenient and the exterior looks cute, but to be honest - the coffee is just average I ordered a latte, which had a stronger milk flavor and a very light coffee aroma. It tasted like "hmm... it's just good with caffeine." Although there are some options in the dessert cabinet, they don’t look particularly attractive. The space is not bad, the distance between the tables is not too crowded, suitable for sitting down and taking a break, but it is really not recommended to come here specifically. If you happen to be passing by and really can't walk anymore, just use it as a "buffer station" Cafe dolce Recommendation index: ⭐️⭐️ (2/5) Reasons for coming here: Really tired, just happened to be nearby Is it worth coming here specially: ❌Not recommended #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Hidden in the bustling area of ​​Myeongdong, Diplomatic Club is not just a cafe, but more like a low-key small exhibition hall. When you walk in, you will find that this is not just a beautiful store for taking photos and checking in, but a space with historical background and cultural significance. The name of the store comes from the concept of "diplomacy", which echoes the photos and introductions of Korean historical diplomatic figures displayed on the wall, such as representative figures of Korean foreign teachers in China. From black and white photos to text descriptions, they all present a strong sense of the times and an atmosphere of respect. The overall space is based on European classical design, with portraits of historical figures hung high on the walls, as if walking into an exhibition that quietly tells a story. There is a story behind every photo, which makes people feel a little respect and curiosity about history while drinking coffee. It is highly recommended for people who are interested in Korean culture or those who like to quietly immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the space. Compared to the average internet beauty cafe, this one has an extra layer of depth and texture. Of course, the food and coffee are also of high quality, and you can see the store's attentiveness from the latte art. 📌Diplomatic Club Address: 서울 중구 명동8길 27 (Myeongdong Station Exit 6) Opening hours: 11:00-21:00 Features: Cultural exhibition | Photo wall of historical figures | Retro European style | Quiet and elegant Minimum consumption: One drink per person Suitable for: literary youth, coffee lovers, culture lovers, photography lovers #MarchGoodPlaces2025

This "Starbucks JD 1960 Store" completely refreshed my imagination of chain coffee brands! It is located in the largest medicinal material market in Seoul, Gyeongdong Market. Walking into the inconspicuous entrance, it turns out to be a cafe that retains the original appearance of the theater. It is really a big surprise✨ The predecessor of this place was the "Jingdong Theater" in the 1960s, and it has now been redesigned into a coffee space full of literary and artistic atmosphere. The wooden stepped seating area not only retains the original location of the auditorium, but is also cleverly transformed into a dining area. The entire store has high and spacious ceilings, paired with dim lights and nostalgic tones.

This time, we stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Botanic Park, and the overall experience truly exceeded our expectations! Not only is the hotel stylishly designed and the rooms spacious and comfortable, but from the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted with the staff's warm enthusiasm and professionalism. The front desk staff, upon hearing that we were flying back to Taiwan the next day, went out of their way to check transportation options for us, remind us of the timing, and even thoughtfully offered us cookies. It was such a heartwarming gesture. The room was spacious and clean, completely unlike the cramped feeling of typical city hotels.

Have you ever eaten takoyaki that is bigger than your fist? No kidding, this BAKUDAN-바쿠단야끼 located in Hongdae Plaza has upgraded the "Chibi Meatballs" into a giant takoyaki. Just eating one will make you super full. This meatball is very sincere, with 10 ingredients stacked layer by layer: octopus pieces, bonito flakes, nori, takoyaki powder, shredded vegetables, cheese, salad dressing, seasoning sauce The taste is sticky and tender with a slightly crispy texture, and you will feel full of happiness when you bite it. I ordered the "Caviar Double Flavor", which is rich cheese + salty and fragrant caviar. It is best eaten when it is hot. Don't take too long to eat it~ 【BAKUDAN-바쿠단야끼 store information】 • Address: 1st floor, Aekyung Tower, 188 Yanghwa-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul (서울 마포구 양화로 188 애경타워 1층) • Opening hours: 11:00 - 19:00 • Price: Approx. ₩5,000 / piece • Transportation: Subway Line 2, Hongik University Station, Exit 4, about 3 minutes walk #MyTravelDiary #KoreanFood #SeoulStoreExplore #BigTakoyaki #HongdaeFoodQueue #HongdaeFoodRecommendations #FoodiesInSeoul #Must-eatsWhenTravelingInSeoul #MarchGoodPlaces2025
