6 places you must visit in Seoul 🇰🇷 - PART 2 1. Gwangjang is an awesome food market in Seoul. It’s a foodie’s dream with traditional Korean street foods to taste. This is where we tried the famous Netflix hand cut noodle market stall! (It didn’t disappoint!!) 2. Hongdae in Seoul is known for its vibrant and creative atmosphere, indie music scene, artsy vibe, & bustling nightlife. It’s also a haven for those wanting to check out some vintage clothing stores and crazy ice creams! 3. The 24 hour ramen convenience store you never knew you needed to visit!! Pop out and grab some noodles at any time of day (which we actually did!) 4. Book Park Blue Square in Seoul is a literary haven. It’s a bit of an oasis in the big city to chill out at the cafe inside or wander around the boutique stores or simply have a read and less busy than Starfield Library. 5. Myeongdong Market is a bustling food market in Seoul, there are also several fashion & cosmetic stalls, but we came here for the street food in Seoul. If you want a lively atmosphere then head here to try out some Korean street food. 6. This 2D cafe in Seoul felt like we had stepped into a cartoon drawing! Everything from the tables and chairs to the plants, and even the coffee cups, appear two dimensional, just like sketched pencil drawings. Such an epic experience, AND their coffee is good! #southkoreatrip #southkoreatravel #seoulkorea #seoultravel #myeongdong #ramenlover

Layover in Seoul so of course we need to go eat as much as possible. We chose Gwangjang market since we figured it would have the best options in a small area to save time. Taku’s favorite was the moving octopus and mine was the cold buckwheat noodles. 🤤 #taklyntheworld #seoulkorea #seoulfood #seoullayover #gwangjangmarket #koreanfood #suitcasetravels #travelforfood #foodielove #traveltheworld #worldtraveler
