Top 10 Gift & Specialty Shops in Jongno-gu, South Korea
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.

The giant Kyobo Book Store in Gwanghwamun stocks great books, music and stationery. For those of you who still music in palpable form, the Hottracks concessionaire has an amazing collection of CDs, DVDs and LPs. Its classical collection is particularly impressive and it stocks many hard-to-find CDs and LPs of Korean classical artistes like Kun Woo Paik and Yeol Eun Son. Its English books selection is small but well stocked. It also has an incredible array of stationery concessionaires who stock a great collection of fountain pens, inks, papers, notebooks and stationery you never thought you needed. For those who are into personalised music, there is an extensive selection of headphones and bluetooth streaming devices. You could spend a whole day there since there is also a restaurant and cafe within the bookstore itself.

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.

This is a very lively street market with a great concept to sample all the amazing food. You go to the coin store to buy a tray/lunchbox and 5,000 won worth of coins and this allows you to buy food at the different vendors and fill your tray. You can then go back to the coin store to eat comfortably and buy extra soup and rice as needed. Such a lively, fun market!
