Walking tour of streets in Seoul!
Today’s video is a first-person perspective walk tour of Itaewon’s World Food Street. Considered the epicenter of the global community in Seoul, Itaewon is known for its interesting mix of multiculturalism in its shops and restaurants. The authenticity in taste of the dishes and exotic vibe offered here can be found nowhere else in Seoul. Chefs from all over the world open up shop here, much to the delight of the young crowd. Culinary delights from countries such as Greece, Bulgaria, Russia, Brazil and, South Africa, await you here. To get in on the action, Korean celebrity chefs have taken to opening restaurants here due to its trendiness. This area of cultural mingling begins in Itaewon and extends all the way up to Haebangchon and Gyeongnidan-gil. Both areas are famous for their hip pubs and romantic rooftop cafes all while giving you the perfect view of the N Seoul Tower. So if you miss food from home, or want to try something new, Itaewon is the perfect spot for you.
I hope you enjoy the walk as much as I did 🙂

Itaewon refers to an area surrounding Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It is served by Seoul Subway Line 6 via Itaewon, Noksapyeong and Hanganjin stations. About 22,000 people reside in the district and it is a popular area for residents of Seoul, tourists, expats and U.S. military personnel.
Itaewon is known for serving cuisine that are not widely available in Korea, such as those from India, Pakistan, Turkey, Southeast Asia, Britain, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain and Mexico. Essentially, it is known as “Western Town,” reminiscent of many Chinatowns in Western nations.
Itaewon, along with neighborhoods and attractions like Hongdae, Insadong and Seoul Tower, is one of the most popular places in Seoul for tourists. Major hotels such as the Grand Hyatt Seoul and local landmark Hamilton Hotel are here, as well as several smaller hotels and guesthouses. Dozens of shops are aimed at tourists, and offer Western or traditional Korean souvenirs. High-quality leather products, retail or custom made, and are sold at reasonable prices (though haggling is expected) as well.
Itaewon was long known as a hub for high quality counterfeit goods, but those products have largely disappeared. Some authentic goods that are only produced in Korea for the international market, as well as some authentic imports are also available. Itaewon is known for its clothes makers who produce custom-made shirts and suits.
Aside from the local businesses, there is a rich community of international business owners, including a pie shop owner from the U.S.A. (Tartine), authentic American burgers, a wine bar, an Austrian delicatessen (with an array of cheeses and meats), a veterinarian/pet groomer with an excellent reputation, a chiropractor from Oregon, doctors and nurses, pharmacists and grocery shop owners.
