Itaewon Special Tourist Zone
Itaewon was the first special tourist zone designated in 1997 among the 5 special
tourist zones in Seoul. It is a multicultural place where over 20,000 foreigners live
and is widely recognized by international visitors.
The name Itaewon started to spread worldwide in the 1980s, when Korea hosted
the 1986 Seoul Asian Games and the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games, as well as
international conferences. Since then, Itaewon has been a popular travel
destination. Clothes and accessories with unique designs, as well as leather
products are famous in particular. This is a go-to street for shopping and
entertainment. The street is crowded with shopping malls selling clothes and bags,
as well as accommodations including hotels, restaurants, entertainment facilities
and travel agencies. With about 2,200 shops and stores lining every street, visitors
can experience a multicultural atmosphere. Also famous is Antique Furniture Street
where more than 100 shops stretch from Hamilton Hotel to Hangangjin Station.
At night, Itaewon is brilliantly illuminated by nightlife for those from abroad and
home alike. Travelers can taste cuisines and cultures from around the globe on
World Food Street where there are 40 restaurants owned by foreigners. Since the
late 1990s, an increase in the number of tourists from Southeast Asia and the
Middle East has transformed the streets from being US Army-oriented into streets
of cultural diversity. In October, the “Itaewon Global Village Festival” takes place
with a range of performances and events.
Visitors can use foreign currencies, including the US dollar and the Japanese Yen.
Store staff can speak English, Japanese and Chinese.
Itaewon is easy to transport because of the center based in seoul.
AND You can feel another foreign country in korea.
