Hongdae's streets buzz with youthful energy and creative spirit, where street performers compete for attention against vibrant murals and indie music venues. Students from Hongik University mix with travellers exploring quirky galleries, the Trickeye Museum, and vintage shops tucked into narrow alleys. After dark, the area transforms into Seoul's premier nightlife hub with clubs pumping until sunrise. Cosy cafes and Korean BBQ joints provide perfect fuel for exploring this artistic playground. Getting around is a breeze with three metro stations including Hongik University Station connecting you to Seoul's major attractions. Budget-friendly hostels and boutique guesthouses make ideal bases for experiencing this dynamic slice of contemporary Korean culture.

Insa-dong

Insa-dong's narrow alleys buzz with cultural treasures around every corner. Browse artisan workshops where craftspeople create traditional pottery, hanji paper goods, and calligraphy scrolls. Jogyesa Temple's golden Buddha statues and colourful lanterns provide a peaceful escape, while Ssamziegil's spiral shopping complex houses quirky boutiques and art galleries. Street vendors tempt you with hotteok pancakes and other Korean treats. Tea houses serve omija tea and rice cakes in traditional hanok buildings with wooden facades and curved tile roofs. Most shops open from 10 AM to 8 PM, with the high street becoming wonderfully pedestrian-only on weekends. Nearby Anguk Station connects you to Seoul's excellent subway system when your shopping bags get too heavy to carry.

The iconic Seoul Fortress Walls offer perfect photo ops while the botanical garden provides a peaceful green retreat. Getting around couldn't be easier with excellent subway connections and walkable streets, though prepare for some steep hills. Accommodation options range from budget-friendly guesthouses to stylish boutique hotels catering to international travellers. The area truly comes alive after dark when its famous nightlife scene kicks into high gear.

Samcheong-dong

Samcheong-dong blends Seoul's past and present through stone-paved alleys and hanok houses with curved tile roofs.

The National Folk Museum offers a deep dive into Korean heritage, while nearby Bukchon Hanok Village creates the perfect backdrop for culture seekers. Traditional tea houses serve omija tea alongside modern fusion cafés, creating a diverse dining scene in historic settings. The area is best explored on foot, with Anguk Station just five minutes away for easy access to other Seoul attractions.

Holiday Inn Express Seoul Hongdae by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Seoul Hongdae by IHG

8/10 Good
"Takes 45 min straight from Incheon Airport to Holiday Inn Express via ARAX. The hotel is conveniently located just above exit 5 of Hongik station. Plenty of amenities locally- lots of young students so buzzing until late night. However extremely safe and haven’t had any problems with anyone. Everyone is courteous and polite. Extremely rule-abiding people and expect the same from visitors too!! Our room on 13 th floor— small but compact for 2; Little disappointed about lack of wardrobes but actually didn’t matter. Clean bathrooms and toilets; warm water available all day. The rooms were actually cleaned and linen/towels changed daily, though we didn’t request them. Its a bit further away from the city centre (40-45 min) by Tube so if you are attending conferences like we did in COEX then may not be the best location. Breakfast was included and reasonably plenty of options that my 22 year old son tried and loved. Washing and dryer on the 16th floor and easy to use via cards. Overall a good experience and value for money!!"
