HONGDAE Hongdae is Seoul’s young artist district and has a funky youthful style. Just off of the main shopping street, you'll find tons of vintage and thrift stores filled with great pieces. Also, make sure to visit Hongdae’s playground so that you can grab some handmade accessories from local artists. Be one of a kind! The shopping street is a long stretch of stores that tend to carry similar things, so walk around a bit and ask about prices before committing to one item. Stores might also give you discounts for paying in cash, or for buying multiple items. It never hurts to ask! |

EDAE'S SHOPPING STREET This shopping area surrounds Ewha University, an all girls school. Because of this, Edae stores tend to focus on cute clothes, shoes, accessories, and makeup. If you’re looking for the latest trends for young women here in Korea, this is where to go. Pro tip: never take the first offered price when it comes to shoes. Always ask for a discount! In clothing stores though, many prices are listed and, in that case, you'll most likely just pay the price that's stated on the tag. |

BUS TERMINAL MARKET Goseok Bus Terminal is the best place to find cheap but trendy clothing here in Seoul. It’s popular with the locals, especially students, because it has all the hip clothing like Gangnam Station, but for probably half the price. Plus shopkeepers will give you discounts for buying more than one item! |
 |
DONGDAEMUN MARKET Dongdaemun Market is shoppers paradise, but it can be overwhelming on your first visit. Dongdaemun’s markets are located in multiple buildings, usually separated by category. You can find anything from clothes to jewelry supplies to fabric here! Be prepared for shopkeepers to immediately approach you when you walk by and try to coerce you into making a purchase. Just be strong and hold out for something you like |

CHEONGDAM AND DOSAN PARK Cheongdam and the surrounding area is where most entertainment companies are found. That means this is the center of the celebrity world, and the area thus caters to the rich and famous. Here you'll find stores like Hermes, Ralph Lauren, and Prada, along with small boutiques that you can’t quite see into so that celebrities can shop there in peace. The shops around Dosan Park, like Hermes, are especially peaceful thanks to the greenery everywhere. Spend the day wandering around this area, and if you do get hungry, don’t worry, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area for you to take a break in |
