Insadong is a hidden gem.

Insadong Street is an interesting street not far from the main palace of Gyeongbokgung. Mostly pedestrianized, it features many unique cafes, bars, small shops, and tea houses, creating an eclectic and relaxed atmosphere. It's perfect for a leisurely stroll along the beautiful tree-lined streets. There are many alleys filled with restaurants that require time to explore. We enjoyed walking down this street and chatting with the locals. I recommend exploring the small side streets. That's where you'll find the best restaurants and shops.
