2025 Jongno-gu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#0yentravelFebruary2025 A new restaurant in Anguk that has a long line A restaurant where you can eat chijimi topped with lots of seafood and chewy kalguksu! I saw this chijimi on a Korean blog and I definitely wanted to try it, but it was more crowded than I thought it would be lol I went there after lunch so I didn't have to wait that long, but I got the impression that there were quite a few people there to eat at lunchtime You can order using the touch panel in Japanese, so it's no problem even if you don't understand Korean! They also had regular kalguksu, but I was in the mood for something spicy that day, so I went for that! The noodles were chewy and spicy, but the taste is addictive! It also has seafood in it, which I really like❤️ The chijimi was greasy and I couldn't eat it all🥲 Many of the Koreans at the other tables ordered potato chijimi. If I have another chance to go, I'll order the potato one. It's located right in front of a popular cafe, so it's easy to find. ———————————— 📍Silla Jeonmyeon Seoul Jeongeun Gokdong 19-6 1st Floor Ⓜ️Anguk Station Exit 3 ⏰10:30-21:00 (Break time 15:30-17:00) 💰Kalguksu 13,000₩ Seafood chijimi 18,000₩ ———————————— #KoreaTrip #KoreaInformation #KoreanGourmet #SeoulTrip

Today, I want to introduce you to one of my favorite places to visit during the cool autumn season💁🏻♀️. It's Night Fruity, a pottery workshop and showroom located in Jongno! 📍Address: 41-6, Daehak-ro 11-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul ⏰Hours: Closed every Tuesday, Wednesday to Monday 14:00~20:00 🖍️Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ There are many pottery workshops and showrooms, but what makes Night Fruity special is its unique and fun pottery pieces! They sell cute and collectible cups and bowls that you won't find anywhere else! You can also sign up for a one-day class to create your own piece! It doesn't have to be a cup or bowl; you can make something like a boot-shaped holder, just like I did! And don't worry if it's your first time; the instructor will help you, so it's not difficult at all!👢 (You can sign up for the one-day class on the Night Fruity website!) How about an autumn outing to Night Fruity, where you can create your own pottery and explore a showroom full of fun and unique pieces?💁🏻♀️⭐️

On public holidays, you should visit the hot places you couldn't go to because of work. If you want to go on a bakery pilgrimage, I recommend Artist Bakery Anguk, a salt bread paradise located in Anguk. 👍 It's so popular that you must go early when it opens. There are a variety of salt breads, and they taste amazing! The visuals are stunning, and the taste is incredible at this place!! ✅ Artist Bakery Anguk 📍 1st Floor, 45 Yulgok-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 🕰️ Every day 08:00~20:00

#0yentravelautumn I went to the filming location of the popular Netflix drama "Mr. Perfect" 🚶♩ I'll introduce three places in the Anguk area so that you can easily get around 📸 ☑︎2nd photo 📍63-1 Anguk-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul ☑︎3rd photo 📍177-1 Anguk-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul This is also the filming location for Goblin ✨ ☑︎4th photo 📍2-84 Waryong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul Photos 5-7 show the scenery that gives you a taste of neighboring Korea 📸 I recommend it because you can get around on foot ♩ #Koreatrip

#myhiddengems Located in a small alley at Jongno 3 ga, this nice little restaurant is famous for its boiled pork slices and pork throtters. We opted for the set of pork slices and fried squid combo as we do not wanna have too much meat, and they tasted very good. Every table was given a plate of fried fish on the house, and a pot of stewed pork bone soup. We waited for 15 minutes and the restaurant was in full house, which further gave a live testimony on how the food is nice. I will definitely come back again for this nice pork slices.

#KoreaTrip A salted bread specialty store that just opened in Anguk at the end of last year🥐🩷 It's a bakery that was created from the popular London bagel🥯! It opens early in the morning, but if you visit 30 minutes after opening, it's full! The second time I visited, it was around 12:00 on a Friday and there was a 30-minute wait! If you register your phone number at the entrance, you will be notified by KakaoTalk, and there are many cafes in the area, so the wait was short♡ (Daiso is next door, so I recommend shopping at Daiso🛍️) It's really close to the station, so you can register your phone number in the machine first and go on a cafe tour! (Please enter the store within 10 minutes after receiving the notification via KakaoTalk🙏) You can purchase takeout immediately, and I think it's relatively easier to buy than London Bagels✨ There are so many types of salted bread🥐 As a bread lover, I'm so pleased with the rows of delicious-looking bread😍 The salted bread is delicious, of course, but I'm hooked on the potato butter bread🩷 It was really delicious with plenty of potatoes and butter🥔🧈 If you're taking it out, I recommend heating it in the microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds💛 And, there are many kinds of cream cheese, but the No.1 signature sauce, wasabi cream cheese, which was recommended by a friend, was also delicious 💚 My friend said that it went great with duck meat, and they also sell it in bottles, so I think it's perfect for cooking or as a snack at home 🥹 ⚠️The ordering method is a little unique, and there is no call bell, so if you are seated inside, you will be told your seat number when you are guided to your seat, so you can leave your belongings on your seat and tell the cashier your number when you go to buy bread. You will be asked for your name when you order a drink, so please tell them your name. They will call you by name or bring your drink to your seat✨ (There is a name sticker on the drink♡) Even if you only order takeout, they will ask your name and call you by name once the packaging is done🙆♀ 𑁍𓏸𓈒𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃🕊𑁍𓏸𓈒𓂃𓂃𓂃𓂃🕊 📍ARTIST BAKERY(@artistbakery ) 🏠 1F, 45 Yulgok-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 🚃 10m from Exit 1 of Anguk Station 🕰️8:00-20:00 #KoreaTrip #Korea #KoreaTourism #Tourism #Overseas #OverseasTrip #AsiaTrip #Seoul #SeoulTrip #KoreaOnly #KoreanFood #KoreanGourmet #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #CoupleTrip #GirlsTrip #KoreanCafe #KoreanCafeTour #Cafe #cafe hopping #cafe lover #visiting Korea #visiting Korea diary

#Christmas Christmas village in the city 🎄 I visited the #JayDotTree pop-up store🙌🏻 I couldn't go because it rained on the day I decided to go, but I went on the day I decided to go, and unfortunately, the weather in Seoul when I visited was rain + a strong wind warning, so many trees fell over and it was chaos😂 So I took a break for a re-inspection, and then quickly reopened because many people came!!! I quickly looked around because it was being re-inspected, but in a space that really felt like a Christmas country I didn't feel like I was in the middle of Seoul at all🥹🎅🏻 (Is this Santa Village...🎅🏻❤️) 📍Seoul Jdottree @j_dot_tree ▪️October 13 - December 31 ▪️1-44 Haengchon-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul ▪️If you clear the mission, you'll get a gift🎁 ▪️Admission fee ❌️ #SeoulTravel #FreeDate #SeoulExhibition #TreeRestaurant #ChristmasDate #YearEndDate

[Popular Oyster Bossam Restaurant] Hwatong Main House Annyeong🐵 Bossam (boiled pork) is a familiar Korean dish. There are quite a few restaurants that serve Kulbossam, which is eaten with oysters, so I went to a popular restaurant on Bossam Street in Jongno 3-ga! If you order bossam at this restaurant, you get a free bowl of gamjatang! ? ? ? It's a huge amount🥹🥹 If you go in the winter, they'll serve raw oysters, and in the summer, they'll serve boiled egg oysters! I went in March and they served raw oysters🤤 It goes perfectly with bossam! It's soft and juicy, and goes well with somet☺️ I was eating alone, but I think I ordered the medium size, which is enough for two people! The restaurant was about half local ajossi and half young Japanese people. The CEO speaks a little Japanese and keeps talking to me☺️ Do you want vegetables? Do you want more? Where are you from? Shokotan from Japan came! Kaoru TV comes often! Even though he must be busy, he kept talking to me, so I didn't feel lonely even though I was alone☺️✨ On the way out, I asked him if we should take a photo together at the register, and he took one for me, and the CEO also took one with his smartphone🤣 The other staff members, the potato girls, were also watching over me kindly☺️ Next time, bring a friend! I'll definitely go back again💓 #KoreaTrip #KoreanFood #KoreanGourmet #KoreaInfo #SeoulTrip #SeoulGourmet #GirlsTripToSeoul #GirlsTripToKorea Store name: HongtongBangda Address: 33, Seocho-gu, Seocho-gu Area: 1 minute walk from Exit 15 of Jongno 3-ga Station NAVER MAP available, copy the store name or address♡ Japanese menu: available Japanese support: available - depends on the staff Atmosphere: ★★★☆☆ - Casual with friends Spicyness: ★★☆☆☆ - Kimchi and gamjatang are a little spicy Recommendation: ★★★☆☆

A healing space in the heart of Seoul listening to the sound of a waterfall🌿 #CheongunLiteratureLibrary A place where you can immerse yourself in reading while listening to the cool sound of a waterfall in the increasingly hot weather, Seoul Cheongun Literature Library📚. Cheongun Literature Library, located in Seochon, is the first hanok public library in Korea, and is a space where you can enjoy healing in the heart of Seoul. When I visited in person, I was amazed at how such a quiet and charming library could exist in such a place. How about putting down your earphones for a moment and reading while listening to the sound of a waterfall? It will make you forget the hot summer heat for a while🍀 📍Cheongun Literature Library ✔️40 Jahamun-ro 36-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul ✔️Weekdays 10:00-21:00 Weekends 10:00-19:00 (Closed on Mondays) ✔️Parking space is limited, so public transportation is recommended #Hanok #Places to visit in Seoul #SeoulDate

🤍HomeboySeoul 🤍Address: 127-14 Sajik-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 1st floor HomeboySeoul 🤍 Key points: - HomeboySeoul, the hottest place near Gyeongbokgung Station! - The interior is very Hong Kong-like, so it feels like you're in the city - When I visited on the weekend, there was a break time of 5pm, so I went at 5pm, but there was still a wait and it was full - Recommended for those who like spicy food! #TheBest #RestaurantExploration

I visited Archivist Seochon branch, famous for being one of the top 3 Einspanner restaurants in Seoul! I thought there wouldn't be many people because it's a quiet Seochon street, but as expected from a famous restaurant, there was a waiting line..! As expected, it was incredibly popular 🤍 I ordered Einspanner as a fan of Einspanner, and the soft and rich cream was so delicious ✨ 📍Arivist Seochon branch - 52 Hyoja-ro 13-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 1st floor Archivist Seochon - Open 11:00~21:00 every day #WinterTravel #SeoulTravel #SeoulCafe #EinspannerRestaurant #SeoulEinspannerRestaurant #Top3EinspannerRestaurants

There are many delicious restaurants in Ikseon-dong Among them, I recommend “Bangida” which was selected as one of the top 100 restaurants in Seoul! I love this place so much that I’m a regular 💛 The interior is also so pretty, and above all, the food is amazing💛 It’s so delicious~~ I highly recommend it as a date spot in Ikseon-dong!! I recommend making a reservation and visiting~ 📍166-52 Ikseon-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul #IndoorDate #Ikseon-dongHotPlace #Ikseon-dongRestaurant #Ikseon-dongDate #Bangida

Jongno 3-ga. It is the nearest station to Ikseon-dong, a tourist destination in Seoul, Korea, and is also close to Insadong, Anguk, and Samcheong-dong. Jongno 3-ga is one of the most popular areas among Koreans right now. There are rows of Korean food stalls called pojangmacha! Even on weekdays, more and more people are drinking outside at night. I went to Jongno 3-ga and enjoyed some drinks with friends while eating jeon! Jeon is a type of pancake, and is made by thinly sliced ​​or finely chopped fish, meat, and vegetables that are seasoned, then coated with flour and fried in oil, or it is a dish similar to Japanese tempura, with tofu, spam, johabak (a pumpkin-like vegetable), and oysters fried. A platter of jeon goes really well with alcohol! It was a day where I was able to enjoy a fun night in Korea 🍻✨ 📍행복한집 ▶︎Address 20, Donhwamun-ro 11-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea ▶︎Nearest station 65m from Exit 6, Jongno 3-ga, Lines 1, 3, and 5 ▶︎Business hours 14:00-24:00 Friday, Saturday 14:00-3:30 ▶︎Closed Sunday #Autumn trip #Korea trip #Korea #Overseas #Overseas travel #Asia travel #Korean cafe #Korean cafe tour #Korean food #Korean gourmet #Korean gourmet trip #cafe #cafe tour #gourmet #gourmet trip #couple trip #girls trip #trip2022 #Seoul

Jongno 3-ga in Seoul, Korea. It is the closest station to the tourist spot, Ikseon-dong. Insadong, Anguk, and Samcheong-dong are also nearby. Ikseon-dong is a photogenic area with many cute cafes and hanok cafes. There are so many attractive shops that you will want to visit that you cannot see them all in one day. Jongno 3-ga is currently in a pleasant season in Korea, so the pojangmacha (food stall) street is very popular. You can enjoy the unique Korean atmosphere and food. There are many shops selling samgyeopsal, gopchang, chijimi, sashimi, and more! I think the streets along Route 5 in Jongno 3-ga are generally bustling. I went on a Saturday, so it was quite busy, and even though there were many shops, all the outdoor seats were full. We ate inside the restaurant, but were very satisfied with the Korean food stall atmosphere♡ 📍Jongno 3-ga (Lines 1, 3, 5) #AutumnTrip #KoreaTrip #Korea #Overseas #OverseasTrip #AsiaTrip #KoreanCafe #KoreanCafeHop #KoreanFood #KoreanGourmet #KoreanGourmetTrip #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #CoupleTrip #GirlsTrip #Trip2022 #Seoul #KoreanFoodStall

Blue Bottle is a chic cafe that now has a branch in downtown Seoul. The decor is minimalistic and simple but the open area makes it spacious and comfortable. The coffee is slightly pricier than usual but very tasty. Grab a seat by the window for a nice view of the surrounding street. The staff are also very nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend if you're looking for some good coffee in a nice decor. #cafe #coffee #downtown #explore #city #seoul #korea

This is Gogabin Curry House. Thinking back, it seems like a place with a really grand visual. It was a bit like a work of art rather than food, but it was also delicious. It was a bit spicy, but it was also charming in its own way.

[Chae Song-hwa] Jongno/Dongmyo, Jung-gu, Seoul ✔️ 5 minutes from Dongmyo Station ⏱ Check-in at 2 PM Check-out at 11 AM 👨‍👩‍👦 Capacity: 2~4 people 🚬 No smoking By chance, on the day of my visit to Seoul, I was looking for a place to stay in a hurry, but a popular place was canceled, so I was lucky enough to stay at "Chae Song-hwa" located in Jongno-gu, Seoul. It was the first time in a long time that I felt healed by the space. It felt like I found a leisurely and warm Jeju in the middle of a busy city! As soon as I opened the door, jazz that the host had turned on flowed out, and the book "We live comfortably even in small spaces" really stuck in my mind today. I think the comfort I received in this space will stay in my mind for a long time ♡ It's a place that was renovated from a traditional house, but the bathroom and everything were remodeled well, so there was no inconvenience in using it, and it was warm and nice - The owner was also kind, and the kitchen space was especially beautiful. I want to visit this place again next time! #uniqueaccommodation #chaesonghwa #seoulaccommodation #seoultravel #seoul
