Exploring Seoul: Part 2
A third suggested itinerary and plenty of tips to make your stay in Seoul as smooth as possible.
Itinerary 3: Seongsu-dong
A former industrial area, this has become the Brooklyn of Seoul and everyone is here hanging out at the many airy cafes (transformed from warehouses), walking the busy streets, and hopping in and out of the trendy boutiques. Look out for Daelim Changgo, the café that kicked off the rise of Seongsu-dong as the place to be. Café Onion (mentioned previously) also has a Seongsu outpost and is a stunning example of how to be a modern café while honouring the industrial past of the area. I would also keep an eye out for the few remaining leather workshops. You might discover some great lambskin bags handmade by a veteran leather artisan.
