2025 Samseong-dong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

🇰🇷Walking around Seong-su, I found a bakery. The smell was so good that I had to buy some. It was just regular bread, but it was so fragrant and delicious. It was so good. 자연도소금빵 Saltbread in Seaside, a famous salt bread shop in Seongsu. Their products are really delicious. Anyone who likes sogeumbang or salt bread should definitely not miss this. 🤩🥰The bread is soft and smells so good with butter. It's just the right amount of salty. Even though I didn't finish it, I kept it to eat the next day without baking it and it was still soft and delicious. We went on a weekday morning, so there was no one in line. Normally, the line is very long, but after waiting for a while, Koreans started to line up. A set of 4 pieces costs 12,000 won. This shop has many branches, including Incheon, Jongno, and Gangnam. ⏰Opens from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. 📍Get off at Seongsu Station Exit 3 [Naver Map] Jayeon Do Salted Bakery in Seongsu Seongsu Seongdong-gu Yeonmo-jang-gil 56-1 1st floor #Review #ReviewKorea #ReviewKorea #seongsu #seoul #TravelKoreaByYourself #DeliciousTellOthers

Acai Purple, located in the Samseong area of Seoul, is a cafe that specializes in superfoods that are all the rage in Korea. The bowls, which are made with plenty of fresh acai and fruit, are healthy yet filling, making them perfect for those who are conscious about their beauty and health. 🌟 We recommend the "Original Bowl," which is a classic acai bowl topped with granola, bananas, and berries. It's cool and refreshing, making it the perfect dish for a summer trip to Korea. The bright and clean interior, with a white and purple theme, is perfect for photos. The nearest station is Samseong Jungang Station on Subway Line 9, about a 5-minute walk away! This cafe is recommended as a spot to reset your body between shopping and sightseeing.

It's a luxurious restaurant that's great for an important anniversary. There are rooms and halls. I recommend making a reservation before visiting. I recommend it to those who want to taste high-quality Korean beef with friendly service! The raw beef with sea urchin, sea tangle, and truffle was delicious among the course dishes.

I visited Goseoru Samsung Branch✨️✨️, a Hanwoo (Korean beef) omakase restaurant. The quality of the meat, taste, and atmosphere were excellent, making it a satisfying experience. The Hanwoo omakase menu costs 168,000 KRW per person, which is on the pricier side. 📍Location: B1F, 33 Teheran-ro 87-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul ✔️Phone Number: 0507-1413-7877 ✔️Business Hours: Weekends 11:00–22:00, Weekdays 11:00–22:00

"'Dickent Gray Whale' means 'a never-ending challenge toward a dream' and is also the call sign of the representative barista. -By Dickent Gray Whale I visited early with my daughter on the last day of the opening. The exterior of the building itself was cool and unique. The entrance felt like a cave that you had to memorize the spell to open, and the long arched hallway you walked into felt like a mysterious path leading to an ancient temple. The moment I entered the room, I thought that the aqua-colored point lighting on the front ceiling and the sink across from it reminded me of the blue sea where Gray Whale was jumping.

#Seoul Itinerary A one-day trip to Samseong-dong in Gangnam District, Seoul, made me fall in love with this vibrant corner! From the bustling streets in the early morning to the reluctant farewell at night, this journey was like a warm surprise party. The fashionable charm of Coex Mall, the underwater wonders of Coex Aquarium, and the tranquility and ancient charm of Bongeunsa Temple make every moment exciting. Follow my footsteps and feel the warmth of this city together! 🌟 Arrive at Samseong Station at 09:00, take Subway Line 2 to Samseong Station, Exit 5 leads directly to Starfield Coex Mall, the transportation is surprisingly convenient. In the morning, I ordered a hot latte and toast at Coffee Smith, and sat by the window watching people coming and going. I felt warm in my heart, as if it was the beginning of a happy day. 10:00 Starry Sky Library, full of literary and artistic atmosphere. After breakfast, I headed straight to the Starfield Library in the middle of Coex Mall. A 13-meter-high wall of books and 50,000 books come into view, the sun shines through, and the atmosphere is quiet and dreamy. I casually flipped through a magazine and felt this free and open literary paradise. It was an unexpected surprise during my trip! 11:00 Coex Aquarium, the underwater world is amazing. Walk a few minutes to the Coex Aquarium (10:00-20:00, adult ticket is about 32,000 won), and you will be stunned by the scene in front of you as soon as you enter! There are tropical fish, underwater tunnels, sharks swimming overhead, as well as sea otters and penguins, which are full of childlike fun. The 16 themed areas made me linger, and the feeding show was the highlight. 13:00 Lunch at the food court, a feast for your taste buds. After visiting the aquarium, I ordered some bibimbap at the food court. The aroma of sesame was so strong and paired with iced lemon tea, I felt extremely happy. There are many choices here, from Korean fried chicken to sushi. Watching the people around you laughing and playing, the simple joy of traveling arises spontaneously. 14:30 Shopping at Coex Mall is fun. After eating, I browsed the more than 300 stores in Coex Mall. From Korean cosmetics to cultural and creative items, I bought lipstick from "ETUDE HOUSE" and a notebook from "ARTBOX". The ocean-themed walkway has a novel design, making shopping a pleasure. 16:30 Bongeunsa Temple, history and tranquility. A 10-minute walk takes you to Bongeunsa Temple (09:00-18:00, free), an ancient temple dating back to 794 AD that is surrounded by tall buildings yet retains its tranquility. The wooden buildings and gardens made me slow down my pace, and my heart instantly calmed down as I listened to the chanting in the distance. 17:30 Afternoon tea, a sweet ending. Back near Coex, I ordered mango slush at "Sulbing". The cool and sweet taste perfectly cured the fatigue of the day. As the sky gradually darkened and the lights in Samseong-dong came on, I was infected by the enthusiasm here and felt more attached to Seoul. Ends at 19:00, leaving a lasting impression. I took the subway Line 2 back from Samseong Station. The night view flashed outside the window. Although my feet were sore, my heart was full. From the bustle to the quietness of this day, every moment is precious. The transportation is super convenient! Subway Line 2 Samseong Station (Exit 5, 6) or Line 9 Bongeunsa Station (3-minute walk from Exit 7), T-money cards are easily available. The cost was about 60,000 KRW, which was great value! Samseong-dong tells me with its diverse charm that traveling is about feeling the heartbeat of a city. Come and unlock this surprise! 💖 #Samseong-dong #Seoul Travel #CoexMall #Coex Aquarium #Bongeunsa Temple #Korea Day Tour #Gangnam Charm

#FritabiWinter Kokiri Bakery is a famous bagel shop in Seongsu, Seoul, Korea. There are many seats inside the shop, and the seats are spaced far apart, so you can relax. There is Onion nearby, which is famous among Japanese people, but I think you can relax here more than going to that one. I also tried the bakery here and it was very delicious, so I would recommend it to people who go to London Bagel. It opens early in the morning, so it might be a good place to spend a relaxing morning in Seongsu!

This time, I'll introduce a cafe called "GLUU GLUU" ☕️ GLUU GLUU is within walking distance from Samseong Station on subway line 2! It's a shop that locals often visit. It's in a residential area, so it's recommended for people who want to experience the feeling of living in the area rather than traveling 🫶 The churros have an authentic Spanish taste and a moist flavor that was appealing 🩵 Everyone, please try "GLUU GLUU" 🍵 🕰️Business hours 11:00-20:00 📍GLUU GLUU 129-4 Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul #0 yen trip November #Korea #Korea trip #Seoul #Seoul trip #Korean food #Overseas #Overseas trip #0 yen trip #Cafe

Since we arrived at Incheon Airport on a late-night budget flight, the airport bus arrived in Seoul at around 1 a.m. Before departure, I had already agreed with my friends not to stay in a hotel, but the two girls had to find a place to spend the night. After searching for affordable overnight options, we finally locked on a sauna where we could spend the night. I used Naver map to search for 24-hour saunas. Most of them were visited by tourists. After much hesitation, I finally chose BORI SPA. I checked the reviews on Naver map and found that most of them were visited by locals and had good reviews. After discussing with my friends, I chose this one. As it has only been open for a short time, the equipment and the sauna environment are very clean and tidy. Most of the staff in the store are 50-60 years old. They are always cleaning up and cleaning even in the early morning. There is also a dressing table and a hair dryer from Dyson, which is very convenient. Since it is a female-only sauna, all the staff are female, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. There was another reason why I chose this place. The cafeteria in the store is also open 24 hours a day. Although it was already 2 a.m., I still ate authentic military hot pot and sweet rice water. It should be noted that if you are staying overnight, you can choose to sleep on a mat in the hall or pay extra to book a private room. The price for staying overnight for less than 10 hours is 20,000 won per person. If you can tolerate the ambient noise of multiple people sleeping in the hall and the occasional snoring, it is indeed the best choice for overnight stay in Seoul. #August2024 📍Address: 7-3 Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

#August Travel Support Event I tried Hong Kong food at Tim Ho Wan Samsung branch while traveling in Seoul. I ordered various dishes from Morning Glory to Dim Sum, and it was more satisfying than the taste I had in Hong Kong. Since it was a Michelin Guide restaurant, there was quite a wait, and the price was reasonable, so it was a good value restaurant. If you like Hong Kong food, you must visit!

- W Style Donut Gangnam Branch Since it's a donut shop, delicious donuts are a given And it's a Samsung-dong donut cafe with a hip atmosphere W Style Donut 🍩🌕💙 A Samsung-dong donut cafe with a strong (ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ) appearance W Style Donut! It's all pink, so it really stands out from far away ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's about 10 minutes from the subway, and it's close to COEX, so it'd be perfect to stop by while you're at it #Hotel Accommodation Event
