Seoul Hotspot 'Ikseondong'

I heard that there is a popular place in the center of Seoul that many Koreans visit, so I decided to check it out.

It's called 'Ikseondong'.

It's about a 10 to 15-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon. On the way there, I came across a famous cafe called 'Onion'.

I was thinking to take a quick break and went inside to check it out, but there was already a line of people waiting at the entrance.

Since there were a lot of people inside, I decided to just buy some bread and leave.

If you have plenty of time, taking a short break there would be nice. It's a hanok cafe, so I thought I could take some beautiful pictures.


On the way to 'Ikseondong', the second thing I saw was a traditional Korean building.

I can't remember the exact name, but I was able to enter and visit for free.

There weren't many people, so I leisurely explored the area. The building emitted a pleasant scent of wood 🌴.

It was a size where I could take my time and explore for about 15 minutes.


After walking for about 5 more minutes, I finally arrived at 'Ikseondong'. As I followed the crowd inside, I noticed several different paths.

There were unique and distinctive shops in every alley, making it enjoyable to look around.

I wandered through various alleys, admiring the shops along the way.

As I got carried away exploring, more than an hour quickly passed by 😮

Among them, I entered the most beautiful-looking cafe and tried some Korean-style ice cream 🍦

It's difficult to describe the taste in comparison to vanilla ice cream, as it has a unique flavor.

However, I enjoyed it very much.

There were many restaurants selling a variety of foods, so it seemed like a great place to visit for lunch or dinner.

I should definitely come back next time to have a meal myself. 🍚
