#Let'sGoToAsia After eating the spicy malatang, I stopped by Go Mango Hongik University Entrance Store to cleanse my palate 🥭✨️ The interior of the store is yellow, which is a cute color that will get you excited ✨️ You can order with confidence using the touch panel! The 1 liter mango parfait is surprisingly large, and on top of the rich mango juice, it is topped with mango ice cream, whipped cream, and cut mango, and all of this costs about 500 yen 🎉 I couldn't forget how delicious it was, so I went back the next day to buy just the simple mango juice 🤭 This is the "real best value for money" sweets! [Go Mango Hongik University Entrance Store] 330-21 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul 11:00-23:00 / Open all year round For more Korean sweets information, check out Instagram [@8mauam]! #Korean sweets #Go Mango #Hongdae gourmet #Hongdae #Hongdae cafe #Korean cafe #Hongdae cafe #Seoul #Korea travel #Seoul travel #Korea tourism

This time, I took a flight that arrived in Incheon at around 7pm, so the itinerary was 2 nights and 3 days, but the first day was mostly just sightseeing, so I only had 1 night and 2 days to do sightseeing! So I'll tell you about a schedule that you can enjoy even in a short time! Day 1 Arrived at Seoul Station around 9pm ・First, I went to Myeongdong to exchange money! ・Dinner in Myeongdong🍚 Many of the restaurants I wanted to go to were open until 9pm or 10pm, so I couldn't make it, so I quickly had a meal at a 24-hour store! ・Go to Lotte Mart at Seoul Station 🌟Lotte Mart is open until midnight, so even if you're on a flight that arrives at night, you can shop! Let's get our souvenirs done on the first day! Day 2 ・Breakfast in Ikseondong☀️ Jayoungdo Sogeumpan, a popular salted bread shop in Korea It's so delicious! There was a bit of a line because it was Sunday, but the turnover was fast! ⚠️You will receive a waiting number and then line up! 💰: 1,200 won for 4 items ・Apgujeong Rodeo 📍 Apparel shop "sinoon" Lots of cute clothes and bags! 📍 General goods store "Wiggle Wiggle" Lots of cute goods! Lots of photo spots! There weren't many people so I was able to take pictures at my own pace! 📍 Churros shop "Minute PaPillon" You can eat crispy and delicious churros! I thought I would have to line up on Sunday, but maybe because I went early around 12 o'clock, there was no wait time! There was no wait time inside the store either, but this time I got takeout! ・To Seongsu I walked around the town! There are many shops, so please take a look around! Personally, I like and use the bag shop "Stand Oil" in Seongsu! The price range is also reasonable! ・I went back to the hotel to drop off my luggage. I was actually planning to go to Hancheon in the evening and at night, but it started raining heavily so I canceled the trip😭 ・The rain didn't stop at night so I went to Seoul Tower which wasn't on my plans. ⚠️It was after the rain stopped so I couldn't see anything because of the fog🥲 Let's go on a nice day! Many of the shops in the tower are closed at night🥲 Day 3 ・Breakfast in Anguk☀️ 📍I went to the London Bagel Museum, which was also the purpose of this trip. I arrived at the shop before 8am and registered with Gmail to wait in line! I was contacted when my number was approaching so I wandered around Anguk in the meantime🚶 I was called before 9am and finally went inside the shop! There were so many varieties and it was so much fun! I bought some to eat in the shop and some souvenirs to take back to Japan! ・Pre-immigration inspection at Seoul Station ・To Hongdae 🌟Hongdae is connected to Seoul Station by the Airport Line, so use the Airport Line instead of the subway! Especially if you are going on the last day, you can get on right after immigration as it is on the same platform as ALEX, and when you return to Seoul Station from Hongdae, you can also get on ALEX right away! It's convenient because you don't have to go around Seoul Station! Exploring cute clothing stores in Hongdae♡ 📍Lunch at Pulteungneungdaeji A Serigyeopsal restaurant! Super delicious! It's a popular restaurant, so get there early! 📍After-meal dessert at Go Mango There are several stores in Korea, but this time we went to the store in Hongdae It tastes like mango! It's really delicious and even cheaper! 💰:1,500 won per cup Make sure to try it when you go to Korea! ・From Seoul Station to Incheon International Airport If you narrow down the places you want to visit and go around efficiently, you can have plenty of fun even in a short amount of time! #Let's go to Asia #Seoul #Korea #Seongsu #Hongdae #London Bagel Museum

This trip, we actually flew from America to Thailand, but we had to catch a connecting flight in Korea and had 10 hours, so we decided to stop by for a bit. 💖As soon as the plane landed, we headed straight to Shiopan, a famous salt bread shop in Hongdae. After we were full, we walked around the area. Then, we went to a nearby cafe and had coffee first. ☕️The first cup of coffee wasn't enough. We went to another cafe. The mood was great, but it was a bit mysterious. We walked around for a while before we found it. You could call it a secret cafe. 🫶🏻Next, we went to Myeongdong, a shopping area that you can't miss. We walked around a lot and stopped by a famous and delicious barbecue restaurant. It was mysterious as usual because it was on the 2nd floor of a building. We got confused many times. Don't miss shopping for Emis Marithe clothes and Olive Young cosmetics. This is considered a very high-quality connecting flight. It's really worth it. 🗓️Travel planning: BTS, Uber P.S. Don't forget to exchange some cash for won.

In Hongdae, the number of steps per day easily exceeds 10,000 because it is such a great place to visit! The streets are full of youthful vitality. Whether it is trendy clothing, niche brands, unique cafes, or wonderful performances by street performers, people can't help but stop and appreciate them. We always casually walk into the alleys that interest us, looking forward to the surprise around the next corner. Even if you are tired from walking, you will not want to stop, because every street has its own unique story and charm. Hongdae is not only a shopping paradise, but also a city corner full of creativity and vitality, which makes people linger. address 347-20 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea #2月好地方2025

If I could only choose one area to freely explore in Seoul, I would definitely choose Hongdae! This place is always full of the urge to "take pictures, buy, and stay." Compared to Sinsadong or Myeongdong, Hongdae has a more free-spirited and unconventional personality. This is not my first time to Hongdae, but I am still pleasantly surprised by the small shops that keep popping up. My favorite is the small alleys in the Yeonnam-dong area. The shops are very low-key and the doors are full of plants. Some stores will even let you DIY your own T-shirts, handmade soaps or scented candles, which is really fun. 📍How to get to Hongdae? Take Subway Line 2 to Hongik University Station, walk out from Exit 9 or Exit 3, and you will immediately enter the hot spot! 💡Tips: - It is recommended to arrange a whole afternoon to walk around the alleys, visit shops, take photos, and eat desserts - Outside Exit 3 of Hongik University Station is the information center, where you can get a Chinese map - There will be street performers after 6pm, which is very youthful - Some specialty shops do not allow taking photos, so please pay attention to the signs inside the store! #Must-visit in Hongdae #Free travel in Korea #Explore special shops #Seoul cultural attractions #Hongdae Yeonnam-dong #My travel diary #Korea shopping recommendations #Seoul niche attractions #Good places to take photos #Korean lifestyle aesthetics #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Hongdae is a town with many young people, but there is a cafe that adults can also enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere. Ium ium1966 As the name suggests, this Korean house built in 1966 has been renovated to make the most of its vintage charm, and has a very nice atmosphere. It has a charming earthen wall, large beams, a courtyard with a pond, a kitchen and a storehouse. I ordered a green tangerine squash and Korean sweets set, but it seems that a set of Korean sweets and coffee is a good deal. I wanted to try the lotus flower tea, but I think I'll visit with a few people next time and enjoy it together. In addition to traditional tea and sweets, they also have cute drinks and sweets, so I think a wide range of people can enjoy it. 332-17 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul 332-17 Seogook-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul Road address 29 Ba-kil, Wausan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul 15 29th Street, Woosar Road, Seoul 15 From Hongik University Station Exit 8, go straight towards Olive Young, go through the promenade-like street, and it will be on your left when you reach the end.

Onion Cafe in Seongsu is really cute. It's also really tasty, so I recommend it for brunch. The ramen is from CU in Hongdae. There are so many varieties, it's fun. The samgyeopsal is delicious at almost every store, so be sure to try it.

This is another restaurant that you must not miss. If you are staying in Hongdae, you must try this restaurant. I must say that it is extremely delicious. If you are staying in this area and looking for a restaurant, the stir-fried squid is the best.

📍One day shopping in Hongdae 🚩 Call Uber from Incheon to Seoul ➡️ walk olive young ➡️ randomly walked to several selection shops ➡️ bought rolls of film 🚇Transportation method Uber 🍜Specialty Food I ate at a Korean bibimbap. It was delicious but I forgot the name of the shop 💡Note: Remember to get out early and call Uber out to Seoul!

It was my first time flying alone, so I wasn’t that excited. I was excited about immigration, but it went through very quickly and they didn’t ask me anything. It might be the morning flight. On the way there, I flew with T’way Airlines. I was allowed to check in 15 kg of luggage, so I put my maximum at 14 kg. The seats were okay. Most of the passengers were Koreans. When I arrived, my friend picked me up and took me to my accommodation. I chose to take a bus to the station near my accommodation. It was very convenient and they carried my luggage up and down for me. The bus fare was around 300 baht. After I put my luggage away and changed my clothes, I started right away. I bought the album of Riize, which was my goal because they had a comeback. I went at that time, but I didn’t go to the recording. I wanted to go and relax and unpack the album every day, hoping for a card every day. I didn’t unpack the album, but I went to eat. I might not eat much and I didn’t plan to go to any special restaurants. I focused on following where my friends took me. But the restaurants I went to were delicious and edible. If I go again, I’ll probably go again. But I’ll probably go to more restaurants. I stayed in the Hongdae-Hannam area, which is quite convenient. I mostly took the bus and the subway. I took a taxi once, which was quite expensive, but it was okay because I didn’t want to walk anymore. On the return flight, we took Air Premia. It was okay, spacious, 3-3-3 seats. The food was good, not that delicious but tastier than when we went to China 55555. Overall, our first trip to Korea was okay. We had no plans this time (we only planned to buy an album). If we come again, we will plan to find more places to visit or shop. There will definitely be more. For those who are hesitating, we think Korea in the summer is good. You don't have to prepare thick clothes. You can stay in Thailand (but we came for 5 days, it rained 1 day, it was cold 2 days, and the rest was very hot). Come and try it. It's not bad, it's just as good as winter. 😍😍 #TravelKoreaByYourself

We flew from China to Korea, the round trip ticket was only 5xxx, so cheap. If I had known, I would have gone there a long time ago. Korea is so lovely. Their cities are steep and tiring to walk, but it's forgivable because the weather is quite nice. And in these 5 days, we didn't just stay in Seoul, we also took the train from Seoul to Suwon for a 1-day trip. Following the Korean series, Seoul is already lovely, but Suwon is even cuter. There are a lot of cafes. It only takes half an hour from Seoul. If I have the chance, I want to visit Korea again and again. #SouthKorea #TravelKorea

Korea is a place that you can go to repeatedly without getting bored. Delicious food, convenience, each season has a different charm. You can travel to all of them. There are many restaurants, many cool cafes. I like to go to concerts in Korea. There are many moments when you can get close to the artists. Beautiful fashion clothes come out often. Clothes during April and May, during this time, you can buy them back to wear in Thailand easily. If you are bored with Seoul, you can go to Suwon in 1 day. It is easy to travel.

My trip to Busan and Seoul was truly an unforgettable experience. From the scenic coastal views in Busan to the vibrant city life of Seoul, every moment was filled with discovery, excitement, and cultural richness. Whether it was enjoying local street food, exploring historical sites, or simply soaking in the lively atmosphere, each day brought something new and special. I’m incredibly grateful for the memories made and the warm hospitality I encountered. This journey has left me inspired and refreshed — I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

While I was strolling around Hongdae, I found a cafe that really stood out! I couldn't help but go in♡ There aren't many varieties, but the bread looks so delicious that I had a hard time deciding which one to eat You can choose from three types of coffee beans The open space is very comfortable By choosing the coffee beans, I was able to enjoy a delicious cafe latte to my liking♡ 📍Location: Hongdae Station Exit 3 About a 10-minute walk in the direction of "Hongdae Parking Street" #AsiaTrip #KoreanCafe #KoreaTrip #SeoulTrip #AbsolutelyFreeTrip

Anyone who goes to Korea, I must say that you must not miss Hong Tsujukumi 홍스쭈꾸미, a famous restaurant in the Hongdae area of ​​Seoul, South Korea, which I must say is very delicious. Plus, there are staff who will prepare it for you. We just sit and wait to eat beautifully. When we finish eating, the restaurant will go and stir-fry rice with shrimp eggs for us. I must say that this is the restaurant's specialty that is extremely delicious. Anyone who goes to Korea must definitely go. Right now, the restaurant has renovated the shop. The seats are good and look very open and beautiful. #Get a discount without relying on luck

#May Travel Support Fund Yoon Hyung-bin Small Theater is located on the first basement floor, so you can access it by subway. Although it is on the first basement floor, I was able to watch an interesting performance without the inconvenience of being underground. I bought a ticket in advance, so I was assigned a seat on site and was able to enter the theater. There are men's and women's restrooms inside. Address - 29, Wawoosan-ro 21-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, B1

Seoul in 24 hours? Challenge accepted. From serene morning walks to buzzing nightlife, here's how to soak up the best of the city. ☀️ Morning calm in Jangchungdan Park Start your day slow and scenic at Haus Coffee & Dessert, tucked into the tranquil greenery of Jangchungdan Park, near Dongguk University. Think: minimalist interiors, artisan brews, and fresh pastries. Afterward, take a peaceful stroll under the trees as the city wakes up around you, it's the kind of Seoul moment you’ll want to stretch out. 📸 Iconic Seoul: N-Seoul Tower Just steps away from the park is the bus stop to N-Seoul Tower, perched atop Namsan Mountain. Whether you hike or take the cable car, the panoramic views of the city are totally worth it. Snap skyline photos, hang a love lock, and breathe in that high-altitude Seoul energy. 🍜 Midday bustle: Hongdae’s creative chaos For lunch, head to Hongdae, Seoul’s artsy, energetic youth hub. Grab a bite (ramyeon, kimbap, or a sizzling Korean BBQ lunch), then dive into the indie shops, K-fashion boutiques, and quirky street performers. It's the perfect spot to grab souvenirs and people-watch. ☕ Afternoon delights: Myeongdong coffee + street food crawl Next stop: Myeongdong. Fuel up with a cozy cafe stop—think matcha lattes and bingsu—before hitting the streets for an epic street food adventure. Tteokbokki, hotteok, and skewered everything await. Also, more shopping. (Skincare lovers, you’re in the right place.) 🌇 Golden hour at Hangang Park As the city cools down, head to Hangang Park, the perfect place to unwind by the water. Settle in along the riverbanks near Banpo Bridge, and time it right for the Rainbow Fountain Show, a synchronized water, light, and music performance that flows right off the bridge. It’s dreamy, romantic, and pure Seoul magic. Pack some snacks or order fried chicken right to your picnic spot (yes, they deliver). 🌙 After dark: Itaewon nights Cap off your perfect Seoul day in Itaewon, where the city truly doesn’t sleep. Whether you’re bar-hopping, catching a rooftop view with a cocktail, or vibing to live music, Itaewon delivers Seoul’s international, electric night scene in full color. #cityplaybook #seoul #korea #cafe #streetfood #nightlife
