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.

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. Art lovers can hop between traditional buildings that now house galleries and boutique shops. 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.

Seoul and related destinations

Wander through Myeongdong Street's neon wonderland, where cosmetic shops offer free samples with such enthusiasm you'll need an extra suitcase.

At Lotte World, families scream on roller coasters while businessmen in suits eat ice cream with surprising dignity. COEX Mall houses an Instagram-famous library where books create waves across the ceiling. Don't miss street food vendors who transform simple ingredients into culinary magic with the casual brilliance of people who've perfected one dish for decades.

LOTTE CITY HOTEL GURO

10/10 Excellent
"Lotte City Hotel Guro was a great hotel to stay at. The hotel is well kept and the staff was nice and very helpful. Location wise, it was between a 25 to 35-minute train ride from everywhere I wanted to go around Seoul. It was around a 5-10 minute walk away from the nearest train station. The neighborhood the hotel was based in had a lot to offer as well (convenience stores, malls, restaurants, etc.). The gym, outdoor terrace, and onsite laundromat were great. It is also right by a bus stop that takes you to ICN airport which was very convenient. Would stay here again."
