If you enjoy wandering aimlessly in a city, discovering surprises in small alleys, then Seochon (서촌) in Seoul is definitely for you. Unlike bustling downtown areas, Seochon has a quiet and charming atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and savor every detail. Seochon is home to many interesting little shops, such as handmade workshops, creative boutiques, and old house cafes full of stories, each with its own unique charm. You can randomly pick one to sit down and you'll love it. While strolling, don't forget to pay attention to those inconspicuous alleys, as they might hide unexpected galleries or vintage shops. This place is perfect for casual walks, allowing you to find a sense of leisure and freedom even in the city. Seochon doesn't have flashy attractions, but its charm lies in this casualness, giving you a sense of grounded tranquility that makes you fall in love with it. Highly recommended to everyone ❤️

#Lunar New Year's Day Travel My own private villa in the middle of the city, Seochon Byeoldang Another new hanok accommodation opened 6 minutes away from Gyeongbokgung Station. It's convenient to go there by walking or driving, so it's great. There are many delicious restaurants around the food alley, so it's a good place to rest for a day after enjoying a trip to Seoul. If you soak in the hot water in the jacuzzi on a cold day, you don't have to worry about the cold wave. It's just heaven right here 🫧 Seochon Hanoks are old houses, so they are often cold and have small spaces, but Seochon Byeoldang was really warm enough to be hot, not cold? The size of the accommodation and the separation of spaces were so good that I was able to rest comfortably without any inconvenience, and I'm full of thoughts about visiting again in the warm season. If you ask about a place to stay for two in Seochon, I'll say this place right away 🫡 . . 📍Seochon Byuldang @seochon_byuldang Seochon Byuldang, 1st floor, 25-4 Sajik-ro 9-ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul 🕰Check-in 16:00 Check-out 11:00 💳Stayfolio reservation ▪️Up to 2 people based on 2 people ▪️Indoor Jacuzzi ▪️Living room, bedroom, bathroom, yard #Hot place #Emotional accommodation

#Seoul #Day City Tour #Seoul Travel Seoul Day Tour Literary Niche Recommended Itinerary If you also like a leisurely travel experience and don’t want to rush through the crowds, I highly recommend spending a whole day walking from Samcheong-dong all the way to Seochon. This area has many art museums and galleries and is close to Gyeongbokgung Palace. The overall atmosphere makes people feel the ingenious fusion of ancient and modern times. It has both a profound sense of culture and exudes a modern artistic atmosphere. If you love visiting art galleries and museums, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) is a must-visit in this area. But I personally prefer the Sunjae Art Center, Daelim Art Museum and Kukje Gallery. These places have their own characteristics, and the artworks on display are often surprising and worth savoring slowly. / Itinerary: If it is your first time there, you can go to the London Bagel Museum or Artist Bakery in the morning to make an appointment and queue up. During the waiting time (normally about 1-2 hours), you can head towards Samcheong-dong to visit the art museum. It's really comfortable. The buildings and streets are beautiful. / After eating, you can choose to take the MRT or ride a scooter to Seochon (Gyeongbokgung Station). Many specialty coffee shops have recently opened here, as well as quite a few interesting independent shops. If you need a list, feel free to leave a comment or add me on IG! This time I was mainly strolling around. No matter where I go here, I can always find surprises. It is really suitable for slow exploration. Nishimura selected a few places to visit this time Leave it below for your reference 🙂 / Art Museum/Art Gallery / 📍 Ground Seesaw Seochon 📍 Arumjigi Cultural Keepers / Small shop (more popular) / 📍 ofr.

#SeoulTravel #100WaysToTravel Seoul. Seochon｜SCOFF BAKEHOUSE While walking in Seochon, Seoul that day, I came across this two-story bakery with red brick walls full of British style - SCOFF. As soon as you open the door, you will be greeted by the aroma of baked goods. The store’s signature product is the handmade classic English scone. Chocolate and matcha flavors are particularly popular. In addition, their chocolate brownies and ginger cakes are also well-loved by customers, and many dessert lovers come here specifically to taste them. The second floor provides an indoor seating area with a simple and warm environment. Since we were already full that day, we ordered a few scones to take away. Most of the customers in the store are nearby residents. It is a really warm and lovely space. If you are also a fan of handmade baking, SCOFF is a place worth trying. ////////////////////////////// Shop Information ///////////////////////////// @scoffbakehouse 📍 Address: 31 Pirundae-ro 5ga-gil, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea ⏰ Business Hours: 08:30–20:00 #Na Wants to Eat #naamangequoi #seoulkorea #scones #bakery #dessert #SCOFF烘店 #西村甜

My favorite Seochon area is just a 15-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Station. It's delightful to take a leisurely stroll and randomly pick a cafe to relax in. Apostrophe's Marlenka is actually a traditional Czech cake, rarely seen in regular cafes. It's quite dense and sweet, but worth a try. The bear-shaped affogato ice cream is recommended to be eaten with the accompanying olive oil for a completely different texture. Definitely worth a try.

#Spring0yentrip "The Nishimura area at the foot of Mt. Inwangsan is a fashionable spot where traditional Korean houses and modern cafes are combined. The photogenic streets are exciting.

A perfect place for a stroll, with traditional Korean architecture and small galleries and cafes lined up. Everywhere you look is picturesque! It feels like Korea's past and present coexist in the quiet backstreets. Within walking distance from Gyeongbokgung Station. Weekdays are open from morning to afternoon, so you can walk around at your leisure. Don't forget your camera!"

I really recommend it!! Because every street here has a great atmosphere, and so do the restaurants and cafes. That's why. In the case of the place I visited, even if you just look at the tables and walls, the interior design was really nice because it had a great atmosphere. Also, the food was delicious.

#SeoulAttractions Today I want to share with you the super popular intelligentsia coffee in Seochon, Seoul. This is its first store opened overseas! Whenever I passed by in the evening before, I always found it closing early. This time, I finally found time in the afternoon to queue up, and it took me about ten minutes to get a seat. As soon as you walk into the store, you will feel that the space is very spacious and bright. The decoration cleverly incorporates the style of Korean houses, perfectly blending tradition and modernity to create a full sense of atmosphere. The shop assistants are very friendly and will patiently introduce various coffee beans to customers. Their hand-brewed coffee is a must-try! I ordered a cup and felt particularly healed watching the clerk grinding and brewing the coffee. Take a sip, and the rich flavor spreads in your mouth, with very rich layers, and the aroma of coffee lingers for a long time. It is really value for money. 📍The store is located at 34 1, Jilin Road, and is 325 meters away from Exit 3 of Gyeongbokgung Station. If you come to Seoul for a trip and want to find a coffee shop near Gyeongbokgung Palace to take a break, take photos and check in, this shop is definitely the best choice. Whether you are a coffee lover or a friend who wants to experience the unique atmosphere, don’t miss it and collect it quickly!

#AprilTravelSupport #Seoul #SeoulRestaurants Camel Coffee finally opened in Seochon It's on the road going up from Gyeongbokgung Station to Gyeongbokgung Palace. The seats are on the 1st and 2nd floors. There are many shared tables on the 1st floor, so if you come with 1 or 2 people, you'll have to sit with other people, but it's okay for drinking coffee It's not that there are many seats compared to its popularity It was full of people even on weekdays. It's good because you can see Gyeongbokgung Palace's wall road from the 2nd floor I recommend visiting when you go to Seochon.

#SeoulAttractions If you want to feel the charm of autumn in Seoul, you must not miss the Staffpicks coffee shop in Seochon🍂 This is not just a coffee shop, it is more like a complex space of a lifestyle editing shop. As soon as you enter the store, Nordic-style home furnishings and unique small items come into view, simple and stylish. The most eye-catching thing is the huge ginkgo tree in the courtyard, which serves as the center of the courtyard and exudes natural tranquility. The indoor and outdoor designs are cleverly integrated, and the spacious terrace and green garden are great places to relax and unwind. The interior decoration is full of industrial style, with exposed red brick walls matched with retro furniture, and the cultural and creative items are also exquisite. Friends who like niche and minimalist design will definitely be captivated by the small ornaments here.

#CanadaFlightEvent Address: 20 Samcheong-ro 5-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul This is WWNN, a hidden gallery in Samcheong-dong. It feels like a renovated house, but each floor is well utilized. Since they exhibit with different themes each time, it would be good to check what kind of exhibition is on before you go. Since it is a gallery with sunlight, I think it would feel different depending on the weather. It was a good space to look around when you came to Samcheong-dong.

#CanadaFlightEvent Address: 46 Palpan-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 2nd floor A snack shop that adds a little kick to regular snacks. Myeongran tteokbokki, suji, fish cake, gamtae gimbap, etc. A snack shop that adds flavor with a little bit of ingredients. Everything was delicious, and it felt less stuffy because it was located on the 2nd floor. There are a lot of seats and the staff is friendly, so it's a place I'd like to go back to. The price range is a little higher than regular snack shops. The menus are not small in quantity, but you should keep in mind that they're all in the 10,000 won range.

#福岗之旅 Are there any sisters who are playing in Korea? 🙋🏻♀️ Today I recommend you a treasured neighborhood in the city. It is definitely less crowded than Myeongdong, Hongdae, Seongsu, and Hannam! This place has few people, beautiful streets, a leisurely atmosphere, and many small shops. It is very suitable for planning half a day to a whole day to slowly experience it. [Gyeongbokgung Palace area] Seochon & Bukchon Hanok Village It doesn’t really matter whether you enter Gyeongbokgung Palace itself, but I really recommend Seochon and Bukchon on its left and right! 【Nishimura】 There are many beautiful houses and simple shops on the streets here, and there are few pedestrians and vehicles. If you stroll slowly around this area, you will feel the Nordic hygge atmosphere. 🔸 Cafe Nuha 191 The shape is a flat, sharp-angled red brick building, which is super special. 🔸Ofr. Seoul Bookstore This is an art bookstore from Paris. Remember to buy the very popular canvas bags. 🔸Amomento This is one of my favorite local design brands in Korea. The design is minimalist but very distinctive, the fabrics are very comfortable, and the store is arranged like an exhibition. 🔸Folki Coffee 🔸Ouvert Coffee Bar These two street corner cafes are great. If you are tired, go in and take a break. 【Bukchon Hanok Village】 There is a whole area of ​​hanok buildings here! Because it is a scenic spot, there may be more people than Xicun, but it has a historical atmosphere and is very suitable for taking photos and sightseeing. There are also many small shops worth visiting. 🔹Tamburins Samcheong-dong Branch This is a very beautiful fragrance brand, and the store uses a green and red contrasting design. Its hand creams and fragrances are very cost-effective and are the first choice for souvenirs. 🔹Onion Anguo Store This is an old internet celebrity with several branches. This one is located inside a Korean house, which is very unique, but there are also many people. 🔹Chanel Johnyang Master Class It seems to be an exhibition hall, opened inside a Korean-style building, which is very unique.

🤍Well-Made Buckwheat Seochon Branch 🤍120 Tongin-dong 🤍No parking available 🤍Waiting seats available outside 🤍The shop has two floors, but the first floor is the kitchen and the second floor has seating, so the space is not very large. The view of Bugaksan Mountain from the window is impressive. We ordered Makguksu, Perilla Oil Makguksu, Potato Pancake, and Yukhoe (prices are in the photos). The Perilla Oil Makguksu was tastier than the regular Makguksu. The Yukhoe was a bit disappointing as it had lost too much blood.

#CanadaFlightEvent #SeoulRestaurant #Seoul This is Intelligentsia Seochon. There are only a few stores in Seoul, and Seochon is the most representative one. It has a Korean feel because it is a Hanok. ✨️Address: 34 Jahamun-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 1st floor ✨️Price range: 5,000-6,000 won The desserts were also delicious, and I recommend you try the coffee recommended according to your taste. There may be a bit of a wait on the weekends. There is a staff member who will guide you in order of waiting. The space between tables is a bit narrow. But it is good because the lighting is good.

Gulim 📍Seoul Jongno-gu Jahamun-ro 40-1 1st floor ✔️The signature latte had soft cream and was delicious! ✔️The berry ade tasted like cherry candy! I liked that it had various kinds of berries in it. ✔️The store is not very big, but I was able to spend a leisurely time thanks to the emotional interior. ✔️Gulim Seochon branch, an emotional cafe near Gwanghwamun, recommended as an indoor date spot~ #IndoorDate #Gulim #SeochonCafe

Intelligentsia, a cafe full of emotion discovered in Seochon! Not only the taste of the coffee, but also the quiet and cozy space made it a place where I stayed for a long time. If you think of a cup of coffee while walking around Seochon, I recommend this place where you can enjoy a clean taste and atmosphere! There were a lot of people when it first opened, but it doesn't seem to be that much these days! Location: 34 Jahamun-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul #SeochonCafe #Intelligentsia #SpecialtyCoffee #SeochonHotPlace #EmotionalCafe #HanokandCoffee #SeoulCafeTour #QuietCafe #JanuaryTravelSupportEvent

#CanadaFlightEvent #Seoul #SeoulRestaurants It's a cafe on the way to Sajikdan. Takeout is discounted, but the store price is a little higher. The coffee price is reasonable and the taste is good. It seems that the main branch is in Yeonam. It's in a standalone building on the street, so you'll see it right away when you go nearby. There's also a seat in the basement. I recommend stopping by when you're nearby.

#January travel support event #Seoul restaurants #Seoul Address: 6-1 Pilundae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 1st floor Name: Seochon Gotgan I visited Seochon Gotgan! The cozy and comfortable atmosphere was attractive because it was a Korean restaurant. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I really liked the warm lighting and cute interior. The atmosphere was really good, and it was a perfect place to enjoy a drink with a meal. I ordered a variety of side dishes with my friend, and the jeon was especially delicious. The sweet shrimp was also really delicious. The noodles and skewers were also delicious, and the side dishes were all great There were also a variety of drinks, so it was nice to enjoy them with traditional liquor or soju that go well with Korean food. There are different types of liquor, so it's fun to drink!! If you want to enjoy Korean food and drinks in Seochon, I highly recommend Seochon Gotgan. I was able to have a good time eating delicious food in a comfortable atmosphere!

I made a reservation at Catch Table and went there without waiting long, and I could only order on the 1st floor, and the 2nd floor is all the tables, but it was too noisy when people talked a little loudly😭 But there was a bathroom inside and it was clean. I was surprised that the combined price of bingsu + coffee + cake was higher than the price of a regular meal... But I'm satisfied with stopping by once since I've been to Seochon for a long time!
