The heart of Seoul’s International District, Itaewon is an eclectic and exciting mix of the foreign and the domestic, the international and the familiar! So what better place to focus on for our neighborhood guide?

Why is Itaewon Special?

Itaewon is Seoul’s international district, housing a variety of Western-styled venues to eat, drink and be merry. Being a place where many foreigners congregate, it remains somewhat of a niche nightlife area for Koreans who are interested in a more international scene. A number of notable bars and clubs spot the area, both on the main street and in the alleys off it. Recently becoming gentrified as more upscale restaurants and chains move in. The US army has decided to move the nearby army base outside of Seoul within the next few years so expect regular changes to the area.
