Gangnam, Teheran-ro, and Myeongdong

9-Feb-2014 • Seoul Korea, South

I loved the Gangnam area of Seoul. It was very upscale and pretty to me. OUr hotel, The IBIS, was located in this area.

The IBIS Gangnam, our home away from home for the entire duration of our stay in Seoul.

Teheran-ro was one long avenue in Seoul lined with businesses, offices, department stores, restaurants, and malls.

The Hyundai Department Store, one of Seoul's finest besides Lotte. Luckily for us, we could come here and shop and window shop a lot given that it was just two blocks away from our hotel.

The very posh Intercontinental Hotel Gangnam

This is how the area directly in front of Seoul's Main Train Station looked

Myeongdong, Seoul's main retail drag. Stores galore.
