Tips
- The main street is closed to cars on weekends, which makes it a pleasant place to stroll.
- Look for the side alleys — the best teahouses and small galleries hide off the main street.
- Many craft shops sell handmade items, so prices are higher than in Myeongdong but the quality is better.
- Try a traditional Korean teahouse for sujeonggwa (cinnamon punch) or a bowl of patbingsu in summer.
