Itaewon

In Itaewon, you might find you have pause to wonder if you are, in fact, in North America or Europe. It is the most popular shopping district for foreigners visiting and living in Seoul. While its rival Myeong-dong is favored more among Asians, especially the Japanese and Chinese tourists, the foreigners to be found in Itaewon are predominantly Western tourists or people on business trips. Itaewon is also well known for its abundance of restaurants offering a wide variety of authentic cuisines from other parts of the world – many of these restaurants have even hired chefs from the country of their specialty.
