Hongdae

Hongdae is the most characteristic neighborhood of the city of Seoul. Next to Hongik University, a university for the country's most prestigious young artists, it is a mix of shops, bars and colorful places where Korean youths gather daily. The area breathes life. Cafes during the day give way overnight to international dinners and drinks of all kinds. It helps that this is the neighborhood with the bulk of the city's international hostels. On Saturdays, in one of the many squares, there's a flea market where young artists sell their creations, music, vintage objects, throw concerts, dance or just hang out.

One of the most lively neighborhood. Plenty of hidden gems waiting to be found. Nightlife and street foods is everywhere. Shopping is also great compared to Myeongdong.
