No place exudes more local and traditional charm than Insadong, a quaint neighborhood in downtown Seoul that transports visitors back to a time when women dressed in hanbok (traditional Korean dress) and men rode horses, with wooden tea houses, art galleries, cool shops and street vendors selling snacks. Traditionally, a stroll through Insadong is mandatory for all visitors, especially on Sundays when the streets become traffic-free and come alive with street shows, buses and throngs of young and old who come to experience one of Seoul's most creative and exciting neighborhoods.
