About

Formed naturally near the US military base in Korea, Itaewon is a unique space called a 'small global village in Seoul'. People of various nationalities and shops full of personality blend together to create a free and exotic atmosphere. It has diverse charms, from restaurants where you can taste food from all over the world to clothing stores with unique designs, an antique furniture street, and lively clubs.

During the day, you can enjoy leisurely shopping and brunch, and at night, dining and partying with the colorful night view, making it a place that offers a new experience whenever you visit. The Itaewon Global Village Festival held every autumn is the best opportunity to fully enjoy the multicultural colors of this place.
