ABOUT ANAKJAJAN
https://anakjajan.com/2016/01/07/korea-food-guide-what-to-eat-in-seoul/
Visiting South Korea, some of you prefer to join group tour and while the rest of you including
us prefer to go by ourselves so we can arrange the trip 100% according to our interest. On 2015,
AnakJajan visited South Korea for the first time and it was a memorable trip, we simply cannot
wait to be back.
The #AnakJajanKOREA trip on 2015 was our first time, the travel planning process was quite
confusing for me since I didn’t know much about Seoul, I didn’t know where the hell is
Gangnam, what the hell is Cheonggyecheon, which place is interesting enough for us to visit. It
took me extra effort to do a research for recommended places to visit in Seoul.

So now based on our experiences, it’s our turn to share with you and help you on your Seoul
itinerary travel planning. AnakJajan are going to guide you and share with you famous places/
spots to visit in Seoul.
ewha
Basically from the list below, you can choose the places that appeal to you and combine it into
one itinerary. I categorize the spots per region, so you can visit those places perhaps in one day
since it’s located close to each other.
JUNG-GU REGION
Myeong-dong (명동)
Myeong-dong is one of the main shopping districts in Seoul filled with tons of exciting shops,
cafe and restaurants. You can simply find almost EVERYTHING HERE!! Most of the huge
brands have at least one outlet in Myeong-dong.
Every shopaholic is going to be very happy here with all the fashion, make up, cosmetic, snacks
shops. This area is huge and very crowded, there are lots of things to explore AnakJajan
