Itaewon is Seoul’s very own cultural salad bowl, an area that has been classified as a “Special Tourism District”. As such, it is a great place for tourists to spark off their visit to Seoul. This is a haven for shopaholics, especially if you’re into fashion. Not only do they have a great variety of goods, but they also cater to those with bigger and taller bodies, making this a great place to shop for all.

If what they carry is not to your taste, you have the option of breaking out the fashionista within you and customising your own clothes with the tailors there. Itaewon is also well-known for its astounding variety of food from all over the world, furnishing every palate. Once those tummies are rumbling, head down to the Hamilton Hotel, home to the food exhibition hall with food from Korea, Mexico, Australia, India, Thailand and China, just to name a few.
