1) Myeongdong
Myeong-dong is a good place to start when touring Seoul. It’s one of the biggest shopping destinations in the city. It is also called Seoul’s beauty hub because all of the known Korean beauty shops and brands are probably here. Grab your friends and shop through different Korean beauty products centers like Innisfree, The Saem, The Face Shop and more. Feel beautiful like your K-pop idols as most of the skincare products they use are sold here.
If you need to do some early shopping for just about anything – clothes, food, toiletries, etc – Myeongdong is your place to be.
Hungry? Myeongdong’s got you covered. There’s a lot of fancy and delicious street food to choose from. Grab a bite of the soft, gooey and spicy Tteokbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes). Enjoy the crispiness of Hweori Gamja (Tornado Potato) and Ojingeo Twigim (Deep Fried Giant Squid). Fill your stomach with the traditional Korean dishes like Gimbap (sushi-like roll), Tteokgalbi Meatballs, Jang Uh Gui (Broiled Eels) and many many more. Quench your thirst with Pomegrante and Grapefruit juice.
Don’t forget to indulge yourself of the famous Rose Gelato Ice Cream (it’s a rose-shaped icecream) only found in Milky Bee store. It’s beautiful in the eyes and mouth so check it out. Don’t forget to buy cute souvenirs like character socks, Korean pins, wallets and many more. Buy it at Artbox, Line Friends, Underground terminal and other stores in the this busy shopping street.
In Myeong-dong, shopping and food are the adventure, perfect for first-timers in Seoul.
