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

#favouriteitinerary We were having some gatherings in town and our friend recommended this shop l, called Whuchu Restaurant, selling pastas, Gnocchi and Lasagne, so we ordered 1 of each and a plate of house salad. The flavours of each of the item is very nice and unique, and the Potato Gnocchi is the best I ever had in Korea!!! You cam feel the freshness of the potato is your mouth the moment you bite it, which you immediately know it the moment you bite it. The Lasagne is also very nice with a generous amount of meat being added in. I really love this restaurant and will definitely come again.

#celebrateit Albert Café is a fantastic large café in Gangnam. Whether you want a cozy corner for yourself or a bright space to chat with friends, this café has it all. I also checked out the basement level, which has a slightly different atmosphere. If you're looking for a spacious, stylish place to work, relax, or enjoy a good coffee, this is the place to go! 📍 34 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

#celebrateit Jeongwol is not just a cafe—it’s an experience. The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the modern yet warm ambiance. I tried their signature black sesame nest latte, and it was unlike anything I’ve had before! The fig cream cheese choux was also a highlight—perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Whether you want a peaceful place to work or a stylish cafe to catch up with friends, this spot is a must-visit! 📍 1st floor, 46 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

#celebrateit I tried the pumpkin pound cake, which had a subtle matcha flavor. The glaze was a bit too sweet for me, so I just ate the pound itself 🍠. The scones have a rougher texture, so if you prefer fluffy scones, you might be disappointed. Overall, the café is spacious and great for spending time—the signature latte was smooth, and the ice cream was delicious! ㅎㅎ There are also many photo spots to enjoy! 📸 📍 34 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

#celebrateit The cafe had a well-balanced aesthetic—not too much, but just right. Everything looked so tempting that I ended up ordering a carrot cake in addition to my drink. The carrot cake, Earl Grey cake, fig cream cheese choux, iced Americano, and black sesame nest latte were all incredibly delicious! If you’re looking for a cafe in Gangnam with a beautiful atmosphere and amazing desserts, this is the place to go. 📍 1st floor, 46 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

#celebrateit I had been wanting to visit New York Latso Bagels for so long, and I finally made it! 🥯 The bagels are incredibly fresh and made with high-quality ingredients. Even though I arrived just before closing, the staff were super kind and even gave me tips on how to enjoy the bagels at home. I’ll definitely be back to buy more! 😊 📍 28 Apgujeong-ro 48-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul (Entire building)

#celebrateit I visited Jeongwol for a meeting at the design center, and it instantly caught my eye with its striking presence. From the outside, it already looked impressive, but stepping inside was even better! The interior was beautifully designed, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Of course, I had to take some photos before enjoying my drink. Their signature menu and other beverages were fantastic! I’ll definitely be visiting again. 😆👍 📍 1st floor, 46 Gangnam-daero 102-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

#newyearnewtrip Tones Clinic in South Korea is an excellent choice for anyone looking for high-quality, affordable skincare procedures. I had several treatments done, including Rejuran and Botox, and the experience was top-notch. The staff is professional and takes the time to thoroughly explain each procedure, making sure you’re comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. The results were impressive—Rejuran left my skin feeling revitalized and smoother, while the Botox gave me a refreshed, natural look without any heaviness. What really stood out was the value for money; the treatments were far more affordable than I’ve seen elsewhere, especially considering the level of expertise and care provided. Another bonus is that Tones Clinic offers a tax refund, which is a great perk for international visitors. The clinic is clean, modern, and welcoming, and the service is efficient, with minimal wait times. If you’re looking for effective cosmetic treatments at a great price, I highly recommend Tones Clinic. Their professional team, along with the great value and tax refund, makes it a standout option in South Korea.

The Gangnam District, or Gangnam-gu, is a prominent district in Seoul, South Korea, known for its affluence, modernity, and vibrant culture. It gained global recognition due to the 2012 hit song “Gangnam Style” by PSY, which humorously portrays the district’s upscale lifestyle.

We went to a bagel shop that is very popular among girls. The wait time was 4 hours. It was a long line. If you don't have much time, you might want to give up 😂 It's so popular that everyone buys a lot to take home. ↓ London Bagel Museum Dosan 런던베이글뮤지엄 도산점 I was tired of waiting, so I had lunch nearby! I just popped in, but it was incredibly delicious. It was my first time eating octopus bulgogi, and I want to eat it again 🤤 ↓ Batgodong 뱃고동 By the way, I had churros nearby for breakfast. They were cute. ↓ Minute PaPillon If you go to the Gangnam area, please stop by 😊 #KoreanGourmet2024

It's a good taste of Wingstop in Korea. The food was great. Service was fast. Located in the middle of Seoul. 💞Reasons to Recommend: Boneless Original buffalo sauce & Smoked BBQ ❤️ 📍Address: Gangnam Station (Green Line Exit 11)

I'll introduce you to Horangihaeng, the hottest Mexican-Chinese taco restaurant in Sinnonhyeon Gangnam Station these days. This is a new Gangnam hot place that just opened. The interior of the store is exotic, there are lots of seats, and it's open late, so it's a great place for a company dinner or drinking with friends. Plus, the prices are really reasonable. And the food is a combination of Mexican and Chinese cuisine, and the taste is... It's a really unique taste that I've never tasted before. The owner lives in Hong Kong, and after going to Mexico, he missed Mexican culture, so he created a combination of Hong Kong Chinese and Mexican food. These are Horangihaeng's signature tacos, fish tacos and dongpo pork tacos. The combination of Mexican and Chinese food is so delicious. I recommend it to those who are looking for a unique restaurant. 📍Location: 42 Teheran-ro 1-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 6 minutes walk from Gangnam Station Exit 11 6 minutes from Sinnonhyeon Station Exit 6 Street ⏰Operating hours: Mon-Thu 17:00-01:00 (Last order 00:00) Fri, Sat 17:00-04:00 (Last order 03:00) ✔️Group use available (18-30 people), room (8-10 people) 🅿️Horangihaengnim does not have a separate parking lot, so you must use the nearby public parking lot. #Seoul travel #Gourmet conquest #Gangnam gourmet

Dirty egg, bbq pork and kimchi stew - perfect combination to end a busy day full of walking and exploring. This was a random find for us as we were searching for dinner. We walked in on a Saturday night and we got seated immediately. The shop was filled with locals and we knew this is the spot. Service was fast and within minutes of sitting down, we were grilling pork and aged pork away! The smell was alluring! While waiting for the meat to be cooked, savor on the stew and you’ll be blown away by how simple yet rich the stew is. The dish is rested on the edge of the grill plate, keeping it warm throughout the whole grilling process. The egg was delicious as well! As the name of the dish is called, it’s dirty and messy but it was soft and eggy on the inside. The sauces may seemed overly much but it was just right to spruce up a simple egg dish to a whole new level. The price was reasonable given the amount of food both of us ate and the location was just off a busy street in Gangnam. The menu selection is small but the flavours are definitely huge and man, I am salivating while typing this. The store only serves pork meat, just as the shop icon shows. Be sure to step into the store hungry for you’ll be filled with many different protein options.

Great place for shopping, food and hangout with friends. Bring your passport then we can get tax refund when shopping.
