This little treasure near the Namsan tower (남산타워) will make your jaw drop

Today I want to tell you about one of my absolute favorite places in Seoul.
I discovered this place completely by chance when I was returning home with the bus during one of my first days in Korea, and without exaggeration, I fell in love with it.

But where is it?

This incredible place is located just below the Namsan Tower (남산타워) and is a street that runs alongside Huam-dong (후암동) in the Yongsan District (용산구).

You can go there only by car, bus or on foot, as there is no subway line.

First of all you can take a nice and relaxing walk, with breathtaking views over the whole city, furthermore this area offers a huge variety of cafes, bars and restaurants with rooftops available which is always very popular in big cities. And it is understandable, given that even in this case you can enjoy your drink, coffee while watching the sunset or simply enjoy the view. -you can also take super Instagrammable photos, as they say nowadays-

But what I appreciate most about this place is the gorgeous terrace made available by one of the cafes below, where you can sit and watch the view and chat with your friends – I also highly recommend this place as a first date-
This place in general is very quiet, as it is not very touristy you will have the opportunity to enjoy everything that surrounds you to the fullest.

Along the way you will also find small streets that lead to the town, where you will also find a large number of unique cafés.

My advice is to take the subway to City Hall (line 1 or line 2) and then from there take bus number 402 and get off at the stop called ”Huam Mineral Water Station (후암약수터)”
Or if you come from Gangnam (강남) take bus 402 directly and get off at the same stop mentioned above.

So what are you waiting for? now that the good weather is approaching it’s the perfect time to go and check it out!
