Eat nearby

• Hanjeongsik alleys off Insadong-gil — Korean set meals with many small side dishes
• Traditional tea houses in the side alleys — jujube, ginger, and five-flavour berry teas with rice cakes
• Poop-shaped bread (ddongppang) inside Ssamziegil — sweet bean-filled bread, a long-running Insadong snack
• Kkultarae (dragon's beard candy) stalls on the street — honey threads pulled by hand in front of you

Tip

• Go on a weekday morning (about 10:00–13:00) for the calmest browsing; weekends turn into a busy craft fair.
• Walk up Ssamziegil's ramp all the way to the rooftop garden instead of taking the stairs, so you pass every shop.
