Seoul is the perfect city to explore, and here’s my favourite 7 neighbourhoods to explore: 1. Seongsu has become incredibly popular over the past few months. So many shops, pop-ups, cafes and food to choose from! Recommended: So Far 소파 (Olive oil & salt ice cream), Coffee Nap Roasters, Neungdong Minari. 2. Apgujeong-ro: Jayeondo salt bread (also in Seongsu), Standard System (Honeycomb latte!!) 3. Sinsa/Garosugil: our hotel was here (Voco) and we loved the neighbourhood! Perfect balance between local bars/restaurants, shopping, and cafes. Recommended: Villa Records bar, Acid House for brunch 4. Haebangchon: love the vibes! If you’re up for a small hike, head to Haebangchon Sinheung Market - very local and hip crowd. Recommended: Mr Ahn Craft Makgeolli 5. Mangwon: Mangwon market, Always August roaster 6. Anguk: love the mix between traditional hanoks and modern buildings. Many authentic eateries and bars. Recommended: 서촌가락 Socheon garak, Cham in season (Bar Cham’s newest sister bar) 7.

ZESTY SALOON in Seongsu is a popular burger joint that rose to fame after being mentioned by Korean comedian Lee Young-ja. Its standout item is the wasabi shrimp burger, featuring a thick, juicy shrimp patty topped with a light green wasabi sauce. Another fan favorite is the garlic cheese fries, generously drizzled with a rich garlic sauce and crispy bits. The shrimp patties here are notably thick and tender—truly memorable in flavor. The restaurant's interior is thoughtfully styled, and while it’s a great spot to dine in, do note that the shrimp burgers are made in limited quantities each day—so arriving early is a smart move. Alternatively get a number on carchtable and go shopping around seongsu returning when your number is near~ Not your average burger but a seafood shrimp if you love shrimp!! #springitinerary #burgerinseoul #burger #travel #food

Located in the trendsetting Seongsu area of ​​Seoul, Korea, Breadypost is a popular pretzel specialty store. Its minimalist and sophisticated exterior stands out among the rows of fashionable cafes. When you enter the store, the fragrant aroma of butter fills the air, and beautifully baked pretzels are lined up in the glass case. From the classic salted pretzel to chocolate and cinnamon sugar arrangements, they are all so attractive that it's hard to choose. The butter pretzel is crispy and fragrant on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The richness of the butter matches perfectly with the slightly salty dough, making you feel happy with just one bite. The Earl Grey pretzel has a soft tea aroma and a refined taste with a subtle sweetness. I ate both in one go. Breadpost, where you can taste simple yet high-quality pretzels, is a must-visit for bread and cafe lovers. It's the perfect place to take a break with a specially made pretzel while exploring the Seongsu area. Access Information Breadypost Seoul Seongsu store is located about a 5-minute walk from Exit 4 of Seongsu Station on Subway Line 2. There are stylish cafes and shops scattered around the station, so it's a fun area to visit while strolling around. #Korea #Seoul #Seongsu #Pretzel #Breadypost
