5 Gift & Specialty Shops in Insadong That You Shouldn't Miss
Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

A cool spot to browse handmade items from small boutique shops perfect for big and small budgets. The way you traverse the shops is via a continuous walkway that takes you to the top where the (slightly) famous toilet-themed cafe is (see photos of coffee served in ceramic toilets). I bought quite a few gifts from here for myself, family and friends and really enjoyed looking through all of the quirky items from the different artists.
