In this second part of our Hongdae walk tour we discover the lesser known, but nontheless unique Western part of this university area.

With great artisan boutiques and well hidden eateries, this is a must-go for people searching for an alternative to the hustle and bustle of Hongdae's main shopping area.

As opposed to the big main streets of Hongdae directly next to the subway station, the Western part of this area is less busy - even late at night - and offers a little less commercial, no-franchise environment. Feel the creative vibes of Hongdae in this neighborhood that is full of small single-owner clothing and accessory shops, offers a great selection of small and quiet cafés - and each with their own unique touch.

But don't think the little alleys here are in any way second-grade: Being the back-bone of Hongdae, you will find awesome international restaurants, bars and hostels. Especially the hostels in this neighborhood are a great idea for the Seoul tourist - with only the best that Seoul has to offer, right at your fingertips.
