[2025 Seoul ] Travel Guide for Garosu-gil (Updated Apr)

It was a shopping trip with sisters to Seoul, Korea. We started our trip at Insadong, a bustling neighborhood blending modern and traditional elements. Insadong’s main street is lined with art galleries, antique shops, and craft stores selling ceramics, handmade paper📄 , and local teas 🍵 . It’s the perfect place to grab souvenirs, but what made it memorable was the photo ops 📸 We explored Ssamziegil, a colorful, open-air shopping complex with unique architecture where you can capture vibrant, quirky shots from the various floors and rooftop garden. 📍44 Insadong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul A must-visit for anyone in Seoul, Myeongdong is a shopping paradise with countless stores and brand outlets on both sides of the street. We visited in the afternoon to catch the vibrant crowd and colorful 🌈 displays, but evening is also ideal as the lights add a magical glow to the area. It’s the ultimate destination for skincare and cosmetics, where brands like Innisfree, Etude House, and Laneige all have flagship stores. We also tried various street foods like the delicious hotteok and tteokbokki, adding a savory taste to our shopping adventure. You’ll want to snap some shots 📸 with the lively street vendors and the neon-lit storefronts! 📍Myeongdong-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul We also explored Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), which is more than just a shopping location! It’s an architectural marvel. Known for its futuristic design by Zaha Hadid, the DDP is perfect for creative photoshoots. We recommend visiting in the late afternoon and staying until evening when the LED roses light up the plaza, creating a romantic and surreal vibe. DDP is home to fashion shops, exhibitions, and markets. The LED rose garden, especially, is breathtaking and a great backdrop for unforgettable photos 📸 📍281 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul Lastly, we also visited Garosu-gil in Sinsa-dong, a trendy neighborhood with picturesque, tree-lined 🌳 streets and stylish boutiques. Here, we found international brands and unique, high-end Korean fashion labels. The cafes ☕️ are particularly charming, with their chic interiors and cozy outdoor seating, making it ideal for Instagram-worthy photos 📸 One recommendation: arrive around late morning to avoid the heavy afternoon crowd, which gives you the chance to capture this beautiful street in the best lighting. 📍Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul Seoul offers such diverse shopping districts, each with its unique charm, vibe, and photo spots 📸 #travelshopping #vacation #trip

#SeoulTravel New cookie shop on Garosu-gil🍪 My Favorite Cookie in Gwangalli, already famous as a hot place in Busan, finally landed in Garosu-gil with a spacious store!!! It was a shame that Gwangalli was only for takeout...🥺 In Seoul, it opened with a proper American sensibility and the store is spacious! From the seats in front of the window that give off the feeling of an American teen girl's room, to the terrace seats with charming shade under the trees, and the corner seats with a great atmosphere, etc... Each has its own charm! There are various types of cookies, and various cakes❤️ I recommend buying basket cookies as a mix😉 📍My Favorite Cookie Theria ✔️There's plenty of space if you go in the morning✨ ✔️If you take out, you get a discount on today's cookie and Americano set #SeoulRestaurants #Garosu-gilRestaurants #CafeRecommendations #HotPlaces

When I went, the entire floor was full of people (based on a weekend visit). I had the signature coffee and banana pudding, and both were delicious.

#TravelMoon Order menu → Couple set (cold buckwheat noodles + large intestine rice bowl + salmon sushi) The large intestine rice bowl is neither spicy nor greasy, and has a savory taste, and the crunchiness of the onion and the crispiness of the garlic flakes, and even the large intestine❤️ The staff strongly recommended the large intestine rice bowl, and I agree👍🏻 The salmon is much more beautiful than in the picture, so it looks good I don't really like salmon sushi because it's expensive, but this place is really delicious. I had a shot of cold buckwheat noodles😘 It's located inside Garosu-gil, so it's easy to access! 🏷️ Daikanyama Kitchen 📍 1st floor, 30-3, Apgujeong-ro 10-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

#TravelMoon A place I visit every time I travel to Seoul💙 It's Kuraunee on Garosu-gil. The store is located in a semi-basement, but the design is full of British sensibility and vintage sensibility. There are so many cakes, scones, and Kuraunees on display that it's fun to choose~ Kuraunee is a combination of cookie and brownie, so you can feel the crispiness of cookies and the softness of brownies at the same time! 💡Tip It's even more delicious if you add Haagen-Dazs ice cream when ordering Kuraunee. 🏷️ Kuraunee 📍39 Gangnam-daero 156-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, B1

#SeoulAttractions There is a great cafe BRIGHT SIDE in Sinseol-dong, Seoul, it is really worth checking out! You can understand the origin of its name as soon as you enter the store. The lighting in the store is super good, and the sunlight shines in, making the whole space bright. The combination of green plants in the store is simply a stroke of genius and is the soul of the entire space! It cleverly balances the sense of order and relaxation, where you can feel the neatness and order of the space while completely relaxing your body and mind and enjoying a pleasant time. My favorite is the second floor, it is simply a dream corner 🥹🫶🏻 Sitting there, drinking a cup of fragrant coffee, admiring the furnishings in the store and the scenery outside the window, it is really comfortable. Their coffee is also good, with a mellow taste and you can taste the freshness of the beans. If you go to Seoul, be sure to go to Sinseol-dong to find this BRIGHT SIDE. Whether you are taking photos or enjoying coffee, it will not let you down! Next time I go to Sinseol-dong, I will definitely go there again~

Flower Artisan Bakery is a bakery cafe on Garosu-gil that is famous for its delicious baguettes, but you have to be there on a first-come, first-served basis to eat them. Even if you can't eat the baguette, the crème brûlée brioche, the quon aman, and the Basque cheesecake were delicious! 📍 Flower Artisan Bakery Garosu 1F, 45 Apgujeong-ro 2-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul Baguettes are available at: 12:00, 2:00 every day Opening hours: 09:00~21:00 #MarchTravelSupportEvent #SeoulTravel #Garosu-gil #SinsaStationRestaurants #Garosu-gilRestaurants #Garosu-gilCafe

#OutdoorDate I visited Agoya Shinsa Garosu-gil Branch, a beef restaurant located in Shinsa Garosu-gil. A place where you can eat beef at a good price! The all-in-one course allows you to refill various parts up to 2 times. You can feel the atmosphere of a Japanese restaurant. 📍Location: House Dosan B1, 50 Apgujeong-ro 46-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul ✔️Phone number: 0507-1446-2129 ✔️Business hours: Every day 11:00-21:00

The first floor was called Media Wall, so it felt like sailing on the ocean, and the seats felt like a local bar in an American resort. The second floor had a space to buy food and various goods, so there were many things to see! As expected from Simmons Grocery Store, famous for its hotdogs, the hotdogs were very good in terms of quality and taste. I recommend it to those who are looking for a unique cafe with delicious food and things to see! #MarchTravelSupportEvent

#SeoulAttractions My dears, when you come to Sinsa-dong in Seoul, you must not miss this treasure coffee shop. I really recommend it to you! You must try their banana pudding cake. One bite and you’ll find the perfect blend of the sweet banana flavor and the dense pudding texture. It’s delicate and smooth, sweet but not greasy. I ate a whole piece, it’s so delicious😍! What’s more, all the shop assistants are handsome and the service is attentive. Who can resist this? 🤩 You can go there to have a coffee and feast your eyes. What a magical experience. What’s even more amazing is that the toilet in this store is like a luxury dressing room. Hair dryers, curling irons, and straighteners are all available. They really understand our love for beauty. It is very convenient to touch up makeup and style your hair. It is so thoughtful! At Front Seoul, you can order a cake and a coffee and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The handsome waiter will serve you attentively, and you can finally fix your makeup in the amazing makeup room. After this trip, you will feel extremely happy. Whether you are visiting Seoul for a multi-day tour or are a local, this restaurant is a must-visit. Hurry up and call your bestie to rush together~

Visit “Modern Odeng,” an oden restaurant run by a chef who appeared in the Netflix series Black and White Chef. In fact, it was a famous oden restaurant even before Black and White Chef appeared, but it seems to have become even more popular after appearing. Realistically, if you don’t make a reservation, you’ll have to wait forever, so I recommend making a reservation if possible. The menu offers various kinds of oden and small dishes that can be eaten as a side dish. The main menu offers almost only Japanese alcoholic beverages, such as beer, highball, sake, and Japanese shochu. The oden basically tastes good. The texture and flavor are much better than the regular oden sold in stores. If it’s your first time, I recommend ordering the assorted oden. The small dishes are generally good, so if you run out, it’s okay to order more. It’s a small restaurant with about 10 seats, and the space between the seats is quite narrow, so I don’t recommend it to those who want to have a private conversation. #MarchTravelSupportEvent

Try the Fault Burger, an American-style handmade burger in Apgujeong Garosu-gil! There are tables and chairs in various designs, so it's fun to look at, and the juicy patty handmade burger was really delicious~ Try the casual and kitschy style Fault Burger! #CanadaFlightEvent

#CanadaFlightEvent I had Milestone Coffee. The Vienna coffee is delicious, the almond latte is delicious, and the regular cafe latte is delicious. I'm going to buy that coffee cheese goods soon. They sell Australian coffee. The store exterior is really charming. Is it a bit strange to say charming? What other expressions can I use? Other than charming, the atmosphere... the atmosphere? My ability to express myself is more limited than I thought. Anyway, I'm grateful that I can taste this kind of coffee in Korea.

I want to eat the meat slowly, but I end up inhaling it too quickly. I like it because you can taste the rich flavor of the meat and the refreshing taste when you put the mustard on top! #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent #FebruaryTravelSupportEvent This soybean paste stew is also rich and goes well with rice! I like rice that is chewy, and they gave me a lot, so even though we ate two, there was some left!
