The neighbourhood of Insadong is an atmospheric tangle of alley-ways lined with 'hanoks' (traditional Korean houses), colourful shops and independent art galleries. Brimming with old-world charm, you can happily while away the day here browsing for unique souvenirs and unwinding with a cup of tea in one of the lovely tea houses.
This is one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Seoul, and no matter how many times I visit I always discover new surprises tucked away amongst the narrow side-streets. Here are some ideas for how to enjoy the perfect day in this characterful neighbourhood.
