Yeonnam-dong is a relaxed neighbourhood where low-rise houses have been turned into cafés and small restaurants. Many have distinctive menus and interiors, and plenty of visitors come purely for café-hopping.

The charm is in turning off the main road and finding small shops tucked between homes. It is a good choice when you want a slower day away from the bustle of Hongdae.
