starbucks @ kyobo tower

This was the first Starbucks i visited after a long holiday in Japan. And visiting reserve stores had become a ritual with hopes of trying speciality coffee and exploring their offerings. The cake lineup is different from Japan, and the chocolate cake I ordered this time had the sweetness of the cream to my liking. I just didn't like strawberries. Caramel Frappuccino is the same as in Japan. It's nice to buy books at Kyobo Bookstore and come here with coffee and delicious cake. It is directly connected to the subway. The restrooms in the building are also clean. It's a little more relaxed than other stores in Gangnam. #koreatrip #gangnam #starbucks

Mesmerising Starfield Library in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷

📍 Starfield Library ~ COEX Mall, Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea Last year I visited South Korea and spent over 2 weeks in Seoul. I explored many different districts and while I was in Gangnam I discovered this mall! The Starfield library is located in the middle of the COEX mall. It's a wonderful place for absolutely anyone to visit ~ there are places to get a drink and sit down, and huge selection of bilingual books. The library itself is one huge photo opportunity. Especially at night when all of the lights are turned on, it's very photogenic and beautiful to see ✨ #seoultrip #seoul #southkorea #gangnam #seoultrip #korea #southkoreatrip #koreatrip #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

Delicious, Simple and Korean

📍13 Eonju-ro 135-gil, Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea Located on a side street in the Nonhyeon neighborhood lies Garam Noodles, famous for their knife-cut noodles and savory pancakes or "jun" 🔪 🥞. Unlike most noodle houses that use machines to make the dough, Garam still kneads the dough by hand every day and makes the pancakes fresh with each order-arriving at your table warm and delicious every time 🔥 😋. The servers and interior both have a classic 80s vibe, but have aged well- you can often see three generations of families coming here not only for a nice meal, but to pass down time-honored traditions for future generations. Prices are on the higher side for noodles (10 USD), but the location, parking, and English/Japanese menu make this establishment very accessible to foreign visitors. #seoulfoodie #Gangnam #ilovekorea

Blue Bottle Coffee in South Korea! ☕️

Los Angeles meets South Korea by bringing their LA based Coffee Chain to the Gangnam District of South Korea. The interior is beautiful with high ceilings and wooden accents in their architecture. When I went, there was a lot of people so it was very hard to find a seat. The tables are very small the cafe can get pretty packed. However, their coffee was great and the desserts here are very delicious as well. Definitely try it if you’re ever in the area!! 😋😋 #foodie #cafe #southkorea #gangnam #seoul #desserts #urbanexplorer #coffee #createwithtrip Address: 129 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 주소: 서울특별시 강남구 테헤란로 129

Seoul: A perfect blend of Tradition and Modernity

Seoul is a city that truly has it all! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the seamless blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge modernity. Every day spent here was filled with new discoveries, amazing food, and unforgettable experiences. One of my favorite spots was Gyeongbokgung Palace. Walking through the grand gates and exploring the beautifully preserved architecture, I felt like I was stepping back in time. The changing of the guard ceremony is a must-see, offering a glimpse into Korea’s royal past. But Seoul isn’t just about history – it’s also a city of innovation and vibrant street life. The shopping districts like Myeongdong and Dongdaemun are bustling with energy, offering everything from the latest fashion trends to delicious street food. Speaking of food, I couldn’t get enough of the Korean BBQ and the endless variety of street snacks. Every meal was a new adventure for my taste buds! And then there’s the nightlife. From trendy bars in Itaewon to the lively streets of Hongdae, Seoul knows how to keep the fun going well into the night. Seoul is a city that’s constantly evolving, yet deeply rooted in its culture and history. Whether you’re exploring ancient palaces or enjoying the modern urban vibe, there’s always something exciting to experience.#seoul #gangnam #Meyongdongstreet

Gangnam SNAPSHOTS 🇰🇷

Me, myself and the fishes ☺️

Went down to Coex Aquarium for the first time when I’m in Korea during February 2024! It’s located inside Starfield Coex Mall and reachable through their subway, Samseong Station Line 2 Exit 5/6. Walk for about 10 minutes from subway station with many signage inside the shopping mall to guide you there. The staff there are really friendly too! Many feeding sessions too and the staff will explain on how they feed their animals. The tanks that the aquatic animals stay in are very clean, it shows how well the aquatic animals are well taken care of. Truly worth a visit especially if you are alone! #Aquarium #coexmall #Travel #trip #Korea #Southkorea #Seoul #Gangnam

Dior cafe

A cafe located in Gangam area. It is a really good place for taking beautiful pictures. But the biggest disadvantage of this place is pretty high price, so you should prepare that you will pay double price for the same quality coffee. #cafe #dior #gangnam
