2025 Hannam-dong/Itaewon Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

I originally just wanted to stroll leisurely in Hannam-dong, but I didn't expect that while climbing up the hill, I would accidentally walk into a dreamy cherry blossom rain. The alleys here are irregular and have many slopes. Although it was a bit breathless to walk, just as I was wiping the sweat off my face while climbing up, a super full cherry blossom tree appeared at the corner🌸! The sun shines through the flowers, it's as beautiful as a commercial, I couldn't help but scream with joy The charm of Hannam-dong is not just the quality selection shops and unique small cafes, but more importantly the sense of life where you can encounter surprises around corners. This "lost walk" made me realize that by not walking along the tourist streets, I can actually find the softest side of the city. Remember to wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes and save some energy for these beautiful scenery hidden high up! #Hannam-dong #Hannam-dong cherry blossoms #South Korea spring attractions #Seoul walking map #Cherry Blossom Alley #South Korea free travel #South Korea cherry blossom season #South Korea street photography attractions #Seoul alley travel #Hannam-dong cafe #Hannam-dong photo spots #Seoul no thunder #Seoul quality attractions #Travel diary #South Korea travel experience #MarchGoodPlaces2025

I was walking in Hannam-dong that day and passed by a shop that looked like a retro fortress. I turned around and was attracted by it. The light woody fragrance at the door seemed to say to me, "Come in and take a look." This Korean local fragrance brand is called DEAR:DRACENA (디어드라세나), which focuses on perfumes and hair care products with all-natural or 95% natural ingredients. What’s special is that all products are completely alcohol-free, which is great news for people with sensitive skin or who don’t like chemical fragrances. There are only two perfumes in the store, but each one is like a character, with a clear personality and temperature. In addition to spraying the body, perfume can also be sprayed on clothes, sheets, pillows and even in the room. The clerk also said that spraying a little on the bed before going to bed will help you sleep better at night. I was won over after I tried it on the spot. 📍 If you are in Seoul and like the aroma therapy life, I really recommend you to arrange an hour to take a walk here. Whether you buy it or not, just staying in such a smell and space for a while is already a small happiness. 📌 Store Information DEAR:DRACENA 디어드라세나 Address: 서울 용산구 이태원로 228 Opening hours: Approximately 12:00–20:00 Language: The clerk speaks fluent English, so communication is no problem Consumption: Perfume about ₩42,000), bath and shower products are similarly priced #MarchGoodPlaces2025

When you come to Korea, how can you miss grilled sausage! This time, I specially arranged **"Small grilled sausage 소소막창본점" as the perfect ending to shopping in Hannam-dong**, and I was really satisfied! ✨ The store is very spacious and the environment is clean and tidy, without any smell of oil smoke that is common in general sausage shops. Moreover, the grilled sausages here are processed very cleanly, with no fishy or strange smell at all. Even those who usually dare not eat offal can boldly try it! Must-try recommendation🔥 💛 #大葱烤肠: The intestines are grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with plenty of green onions, full of aroma! 💛 #烤猪皮: It will spray oil and bounce like crazy when roasting🤣 But after roasting, it will be crispy on one side and full of gelatin on the other, with a super rich taste!

I couldn’t help but keep ordering more! 🤤 We also ordered a few side dishes, which all tasted very good. Although the price is a bit high, it is really worth a try and you will not regret it at all!

In Seoul, Hannam-dong and Seongsu-dong have become my favorite shopping destinations. Hannam-dong attracts me with its unique artistic atmosphere. While strolling around, I discovered a niche bag store called Hotel Anoetic💼. The bags in the store are unique and full of design sense, making it hard for me to resist. After picking out a favorite bag, I continued my shopping journey. Additionally, I visited Seongsu-dong, where the popular coffee shop Fritz Coffee is already well-known. ☕️ As I walked into the shop, the rich aroma of coffee greeted me. I ordered a signature coffee, sat by the window, and enjoyed the street view outside, savoring the tranquility and comfort. 🛍️These two places, with their distinctive commercial streets, made me feel the fashion and charm of Seoul.

I want to introduce you to Grill Doha in Hannam-dong, a restaurant I absolutely love. As someone who really enjoys lamb, I was truly moved when I found this place. Although Qatari cuisine was unfamiliar to me, I had a firm belief that lamb could not taste bad, and indeed, everything on the menu was delicious. I am 200% willing to revisit💘 🟢Address: 2nd Floor, 268 Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 🟢Business Hours (Break Time: Weekdays 14:30~17:00) Mon~Sat: 11:30~21:50 (Last Order: 20:50) Sunday: 11:30~21:10 (Last Order: 20:10)

There are quite a few seats on the 1st floor outdoor/indoor, 2nd floor, and 3rd floor rooftop. You have to order the brunch menu to use the 1st floor. We visited around 12-12:30, and the 1st floor outdoor was full. We said we would only use the cafe, so they guided us to the 2nd floor, but there was no one on the 2nd floor, so we used it freely! If you don't mind not having an outdoor table, I think it would be nice and quiet to visit at this ambiguous time😊 Even the 2nd floor has a cute European feel with each prop!✨ Having a cup of coffee while watching the trees swaying through the windows is so leisurely and sweet🍯 ✔️Location: 223-5 Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul ✔️Hours: Wed-Sun 11:00 - 20:00 (Closed on Mon, Tue) / Brunch & Wine 11:00 - 14:00 ✔️Parking: Valet available

I've been to several Dr. Caligari's Secret Room locations, but the Itaewon location has a unique feel. The exterior of the building itself is unusual. Haha. And unlike other locations, they have craft beer that is only sold here, which was nice! Pizza is always the best

sᴇᴏᴜʟ ᴋᴏʀᴇᴀ ☕️🧸 #Hannamdong One of the things to do before leaving for Seoul When you feel like having a cup of coffee after a day of sightseeing in Hannam-dong I found BBB by accident in the alley. So lucky! The old-fashioned Berlin-style red brick wall is very European~ There are also big cute bears in the compartments on each floor. It’s easy to shoot and produce good results. Most importantly, you don’t have to queue. Highly recommended! The bagels are delicious! So many flavors to choose from But it’s a pity that Oppa didn’t provide heating service🥹 Hot latte is so strong that I can't say anything -2°C weather has been warmed to Love it here!

#IndoorDate #MoulinRouge #Musical #BlueSquare I went to see the Moulin Rouge musical, the pinnacle of glamour! This musical, which runs until March 2023, was fiercely contested for tickets despite the enormous ticket price of 180,000 won for VIP seats! It was an expensive performance due to the gorgeous stage set, the best actors, and the copyright fees for famous pop songs, but after watching it, I didn't regret the price at all! Thanks to the actors who gave it their all on a great stage, I couldn't help but get excited even though I was sitting still on my chair. I couldn't hold back my excitement.🩷 The location is [Blue Square Shinhan Card Hall] located in Hangangjin Station. There is a book park and lounge in the Blue Square building, so it's a space where you can quietly drink coffee, read books, and chat. Musical audiences can also get a 3,000 won discount on lounge usage fees:) Now, a small shop called Sodamsanghoe is also open, so it's fun to look around! Why not go to Blue Square to watch the Moulin Rouge musical, which is perfect for an indoor date on a cold day like this? 😍 📍Location: Blue Square, 294 Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

A friend told me he wanted to go so we visited Locos BBQ The place we visited on Itaewon Gyeongridan-gil is the main branch It seems like there are several branches BBQ tastes like beer!

Etaewon seoul 🇰🇷 How to get to Itaewon -Subway (Brown Line) get off at Itaewon Station -Travel from the airport, take the Airport Bus (Airport Bus) line 6030, it takes about 1 hour What to do in Itaewon…? Talking about traveling in Itaewon, it may not be a district with prominent tourist attractions, but it is a district suitable for walking around, chilling out, and light shopping. If anyone comes to Itaewon, you will see that both sides of the main road are full of shops, from leading brands to street stalls selling Korean souvenirs. I came here because I followed Itaewon Class. The location of the shop following Itaewon Class at Park Sae-ro-oi's HONEY NIGHT is very good. #Recommend delicious restaurants #Travel abroad #Christmas 2022

#TravelKorea One of the well-known areas in Seoul is Itaewon. It used to be famous for its nightlife, but now people are probably familiar with it from the famous series that we also like. Today, let's take a walk around this area during the day to change the atmosphere. There are a few restaurants and shops open, but it's quite quiet, so we took some pictures to share with you.

#cityplaybook Hannam-dong Cafe Street, nestled in Itaewon-ro, Yongsan District, Seoul, is already renowned for its trendy establishments and vibrant atmosphere. However, a recent special painting project by Geoseong ENG at the popular clothing brand EPT (East Pacific Trad) has added another layer of allure to this dynamic neighborhood, making it even more of a must-visit destination. EPT's Transformation The EPT store's fresh new look, featuring Senideco special painting, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into its creation. Even before the rainy season hit, Geoseong ENG completed the extensive interior and exterior work, using Senideco products throughout. A Glimpse Behind the Scenes The project involved a multi-step process, starting with primer application on the exterior while interior preparations began. A visit to a popular local spot offered a moment of respite before the detailed base work commenced. The application of Senicabe and Senibeton, along with specialized primer, was a labor-intensive but rewarding process, ensuring every corner was meticulously covered. The transformation unfolded in layers: first, second, and final coats, culminating in stunning wall finishes. Overcoming Challenges and Artistic Flair Despite a few necessary revisions during the interior work, the team at Geoseong ENG approached every challenge with professionalism and a positive attitude. The application of Senideco products extended to the staircases, creating a beautifully vintage aesthetic that complements the store's interior and decorative objects. The exterior also received the same diligent attention, with careful application and two rounds of coating, which even stretched into the late hours. The artistic journey didn't end there. The day after the painting was completed, a talented graffiti artist adorned the new walls, adding a unique and vibrant touch that truly solidified EPT as a hotspot on Hannam-dong Cafe Street. Expert Recommendations This impressive transformation at the EPT store showcases the versatility of lime plaster products. Geoseong ENG highlights that these products come in various types suitable for interiors, exteriors, and even flooring, with different application methods depending on the specific site. For any special painting or lime plaster projects, they highly recommend consulting with experts like them to ensure the best results. Overall, the EPT store's makeover is a fantastic example of how specialized design can enhance the existing charm of Hannam-dong Cafe Street. It's not just a place for great experiences; it's a dynamic hub where art, fashion, and meticulous design converge. #streetwalk #relaxing

If you enjoy a relaxed vibe but still want a touch of Korean chic in your trip, Hannam-dong is an excellent choice. Unlike the bustling areas of Hongdae or Myeongdong, this neighborhood is filled with beautiful cafes, great restaurants, and a subtle sense of elegance that's easy on the eyes. Strolling around this area is truly delightful. The streets are clean, the buildings have stylish designs, and there are small art galleries as well as cozy coffee shops with charming decor. It's perfect for photography enthusiasts and those who love to unwind. For anyone who appreciates a quiet, stylish atmosphere—sipping coffee, listening to soft music, or taking leisurely walks—Hannam-dong is definitely the answer.

The new showroom of fashion brand Nothing Written, which exudes a cool atmosphere like a modern European gallery, has opened in Hannam-dong. A 30-year-old ordinary house was remodeled into a modern yet simple space, and it is hard to take your eyes off the beautiful space, as if you have entered a Pinterest image. The director personally airlifted vintage furniture and props from overseas to shine, and the brand products and furniture are placed leisurely, adding a sense of beauty to the space and adding a cool charm.

Esther Schiffer Gallery in Hannam-dong, a gallery with beautiful flowing curves Esther Schiffer Gallery, which has branches in Berlin, Paris, and Seoul, opened its first space in Itaewon, Seoul in 2022, and opened a new, more beautiful space in Hannam-dong on February 25th. The gently flowing curves from the 2nd to the 4th floor stand out, and the simple white tones create a stylish atmosphere. We plan to hold a new exhibition starting this spring, so keep an eye out for news to come.

#cherryblossom25 I feel so lucky to have caught Seoul’s cherry blossoms at their peak this time — and wow, it did not disappoint! From the moment I left the airport and headed into the city, cherry trees were blooming everywhere — lining the roads, parks, and even quiet corners. 🚗🌸🏙️ But the real highlight? Definitely Hannam-dong city walk — hands down the most photogenic spot I came across! 📸✨ Even the local Korean girls around me were gasping and saying "이쁘다~ (so pretty~)" nonstop! 🥹💬 Aesthetic Level: 1000% Korea seriously knows how to charm — even its cherry blossoms are romantic pros! 💘🌸 Walking under those trees with a soft breeze blowing petals around you... It felt like I had stepped straight into a K-drama. 🎬🌬️🌸 You know that "5 cm per second" petal-falling moment? Yeah, it was exactly that. 🩷🍃 The vibes? Total destined love + emotional BGM in my head on loop. 🎧💞 Romance meter: exploding. #thingstodo
