Modern meets tradition in many corners of Seoul, creating aesthetic pockets such as a light-filled bread cafe and a designer glasses boutique in a refurbished bathhouse. We wandered through the winding alleys of traditional village houses by day, and shopped in brightly-lit stores while munching on street food by night.

Cafe culture is huge in Seoul, and for this trip, I had researched multiple that I wanted to visit - and while we didn’t hit up all of the ones on my list, I’ve included the ones we managed to visit below!
