"Ikseon-dong is where Seoulโs old-school charm meets the city's modern vibe. Nestled just a short stroll from Jongno 3-ga Station, this neighbourhood has become the go-to spot for young locals craving something fresh yet rooted in tradition. Picture this: rows of hanok, Koreaโs traditional houses from the 1920s, now buzzing with trendy cafes, indie boutiques & quirky restaurants. The best part? Everythingโs within walking distance. You can hop from one artsy shop to the next, grab a bite, & chill at a cosy cafe, all in the span of a few minutes. Whether youโre exploring by day or night, Ikseon-dongโs got that perfect mix of old & new that just hits different."

"Some of the Hanoks have been beautifully rehabilitated and turned to cafes, restaurants and boutiques
Ikseon-Dong can get very crowded in the afternoon. The best way to avoid the big crowd is to visit around 11:00am or in the evening after 18:00pm.
