A nice street with all the art and cultural stuffs, check out the side alleys too, lotsa restaurants and cafe hidden there.
Austin MielkeJanuary 28, 2013Great place to get lost and go shopping... I will say that souvenirs are more expensive here. Plenty of restaurants and fun food carts around! Try the Kkultarae or hand spun honey strings...yum!
Jean-Noël VignaroliSeptember 13, 2016Probably the best place to get some Korean souvenirs. You might want to check prices twice though. A product you bargained at a shop might be cheaper in another one.
TingAugust 27, 2016Come for a stroll in the late evening when it's less hectic and be treated to beautiful singing by talented buskers. Magicians as well.
The Ritz-CarltonFebruary 26, 2013Insa-dong Art Street was once one of the largest market for antiques in Korea. After the Korean War the area became a hub of artistic and cafe life. Explore the galleries & authentic tea shops.- Annie Romo KrachureMay 2, 2013Best spot for Korean traditional souvenirs. I absolutely recommend this area's art galleries, print shops and tea houses. Even though is always crowded you are always up for a relaxing artsy adventure
InterContinental Hotels & ResortsFebruary 19, 2013Insa-dong is the street which is lined with hundreds of art galleries & antique shops. They sell all sorts of Korean antiques and traditional souvenirs, and the area looks like a big art museum. Read more
J-OSLMay 28, 2016A lovely small shopping street, food, local sweets, accessories, and home made stuffs at reasonable price.

DHR.comSeptember 8, 2011A place to find local arts and crafts. Buy your souvenirs, check out art galleries, and dine here. The information center (100m from Ssamjigil towards the Jogyesa Temple) will help you get around.- Michelle LeeJuly 7, 2016A lovely street with traditional goods and tea houses. Great place to buy souvenirs!
Hayo BartAugust 19, 2014This road has a lot of nice antique, souvenir and food stores, though it's quite touristy. If I'm correct, bargaining is allowed here...
Aisyatun Najwa Ahmad ShukriDecember 27, 2015Ate delicious grilled fish at 어머니가 구워주신 생선! The cuttlefish are delicious too!
Camilo Moreno-SalamancaJune 1, 2013If you are looking for unique gifts, jewelry and porcelains are of great quality here!
Seoul's shopping area for antique items. Also for cosmetic and fashion.
Congested, but a classic tourist spot. They have some cute modernized hanbok dresses, but don't expect them to come cheap.
I Wanna Go ThereAugust 11, 2011The Chosun Dynasty confucionist scholars used to go to Insa Dong to buy paper, ink, brushes and books, and many of the old shops are still remaining. Read more
R WongphimonkitOctober 30, 2011lots of cool souvenirs and don't forget to visit Ssamziegil building :) I had a great time.
Erica SiosonApril 19, 2012Tea sets are only 4000 won per box, you can haggle for lower prices if you buy more sets.
Jerome (Wee Kheam)March 9, 2015Shop and dining..too many food and slightly high price compare to other part of seoul
Minjae KimMay 31, 2012Especially I recommend you to visit SSAMJI-GIL. Attractive small stores are there.
Natalie BauerJune 30, 2010Find the little lady with the Hoddok cart. Sometimes the wait in line is an hour but totally worth it. Best 호떡 in Korea!
JY HwangSeptember 25, 2011Every sunday, Cars are prohibited to drive in this street for travelers and people.
Daniel CraigJanuary 17, 2010Lots to do here from Galleries to restaurants to street food. Pass on the souvenirs unless you are crunched for time. The other markets are better for this.
Mabs PeñaMay 12, 2011Buying korean products as souvenirs with an artsy flair? then head to Insadong.
