2025 Hannam-dong/Itaewon Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

In Seoul, Hannam-dong and Seongsu-dong have become my favorite shopping destinations. Hannam-dong attracts me with its unique artistic atmosphere. While strolling around, I discovered a niche bag store called Hotel Anoetic💼. The bags in the store are unique and full of design sense, making it hard for me to resist. After picking out a favorite bag, I continued my shopping journey. Additionally, I visited Seongsu-dong, where the popular coffee shop Fritz Coffee is already well-known. ☕️ As I walked into the shop, the rich aroma of coffee greeted me. I ordered a signature coffee, sat by the window, and enjoyed the street view outside, savoring the tranquility and comfort. 🛍️These two places, with their distinctive commercial streets, made me feel the fashion and charm of Seoul.

I want to introduce you to Grill Doha in Hannam-dong, a restaurant I absolutely love. As someone who really enjoys lamb, I was truly moved when I found this place. Although Qatari cuisine was unfamiliar to me, I had a firm belief that lamb could not taste bad, and indeed, everything on the menu was delicious. I am 200% willing to revisit💘 🟢Address: 2nd Floor, 268 Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 🟢Business Hours (Break Time: Weekdays 14:30~17:00) Mon~Sat: 11:30~21:50 (Last Order: 20:50) Sunday: 11:30~21:10 (Last Order: 20:10)

#magicalxmastrip Menu Highlights: Cafe Latte: 5.5 Cappuccino: 5.5 Cinnamon Bun: 5.0 I visited this cafe with high expectations, especially after hearing rave reviews about their lattes. However, my experience fell a bit short. I ordered a decaf latte, and while it was incredibly soft and rich, the bitterness overshadowed the flavor, leaving me a little disappointed. 😔 Atmosphere: I stopped by on a weekday evening around 6:30 PM, and the place was packed. Although the turnover rate was quick, the cafe was bustling and quite noisy, primarily due to the crowd of young visitors. It’s not the ideal spot if you’re looking to work, read, or have an intimate conversation, as the constant flow of people creates a lively but chaotic vibe. That said, if you’re looking for a quick coffee stop, it’s worth checking out—but not for a quiet, leisurely visit. 📍Location: 1F, 26 Hannam-daero 27-ga-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

📍Address - 657-144 Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul. 🏖Ambiance/Facilities - Private, Cozy & luxurious. 💡Highlights - Amazing private dining experience. 💵Avg. Price per Person - 200USD ⭐️Rating - 5/5 OW Nikuya’s private Hanwoo omakase experience stands out not only for its elegant setting and seasonal approach but also for its exceptional highlight dishes✨️💎🍽. Among these, the grilled Hanwoo beef steak is a true masterpiece, perfectly cooked to bring out the rich marbling and natural flavors of premium Korean beef. The meat is tender, succulent, and served with a subtle char that enhances its depth, making each bite something special🍖🥩😋. Another standout is the crab legs with oyster redux sauce. The delicate, briny sweetness of the crab pairs beautifully with the deep, earthy flavors of the oyster reduction🦀🦪. This dish exemplifies the restaurant’s skill in blending Japanese and French techniques, as well as elements of Chinese and Korean cuisine resulting in a harmonious interplay of textures and flavors that lingers on the palate🇯🇵🇫🇷🇨🇳🇰🇷. Overall, OW is a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience that is both personal and ever-changing due to the owner's constant desire to explore and improve their menu. Reservations are a bit difficult, but not impossible if done well in advance. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Korea. #koreanfoodtrip #koreanbbq #seoulrestaurant #deliciousfood #hanwoo #omakase #hannamdong

Seoul, May 2024 Hanamdong, Seongsudong and Shinsadong are an absolute dream for any shopaholic! From the artsy vibes at TAMBURINS to the unique ateliers, every shop is bursting with creative concepts that make each visit an adventure. I strolled through Instagrammable streets, enjoyed mouth-watering Korean BBQ, and found so many cool spots that my camera roll is ready for social media with zero edits needed! The weather was perfect, even though I just missed the sakura season. But honestly, with all the fun shopping and exploring, I barely noticed. A truly memorable experience! #travelanywhere #ig_korea #koreatrip #awesomepic #seongsudong #hannamdong

Le Mont Blanc, located in the Itaewon area of ​​Korea, is a cafe where you can eat cakes that look like wool 🧶!! The cakes are so cute😍 I think it's closest to Noksapyeong Station or Sukudaik Station, but it's uphill and takes about 20 minutes to walk, so you might want to take a taxi 🚕 to the nearest station. It's in a place where the buildings are intertwined, so it might be hard to find. There was wool 🧶 placed everywhere in the store. The cushions also had wool patterns printed on them. Business hours: 12:00-20:00 Last order: 19:30 #KoreaTrip #SeoulCafe #OverseasTrip

Actually i really like octopus stir with korean sauce. But i think this restaurant is so fantastic the most. Reasonable price, good taste, big dish. I love kimji too. Song and Soju is good.

Cafe Nescafe is a nice place for you to sit, relax and enjoy your coffee. Wide selection of drinks at your disposal. They serve desserts too. There's always people there but it's not too loud and it's nice. They are open until quite late. Lots of people even late at night. It seems to be crowded with people at night.

Price per Person - SGD15/pax Rating - 5/5 for the wide selection of coffee #cafe #nescafe #itaewon #seoul #southkorea #tonywanderlust
