[Seoul] Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdemun Review -코트야드 메리어트 서울 남대문

Last month, I was in Seoul to meet some of my Korean friends and I stayed at the newly opened Courtyard by Marriott Seoul Namdemun.

As many of those who are familiar with Seoul, Namdemun is a traditional market located at the heart of Seoul. From the hotel, it's just across the street to Namdemun Market. Besides that, the Hotel is 5-minute walk away from Hoehyeon Station (회현역), 10-minute walk from Seoul Station (서울역), and 10-minute walk from City Hall Station (시청역). You can also walk to Myeongdong, which is approximately 15 minutes.

[Seoul] Garosu-gil's Cafe Ginkgo Avenue

Seoul's Garosu-gil (가로수길/街路樹길) is one of the must-visit places when I visit the city.

The street literally means tree lined street. The street has an artsy feel, with many European-style trendy cafes, as well as boutiques.

I visited "Cafe Ginkgo Avenue (카페 징코에비뉴)". This cafe has a view of the beautiful tree lined street.

Tosokchon Ginseng Chicken (토속촌삼계탕)

I'm sure many people knows Korea is known for their awesome Ginseng Chicken Soup (Samgyetang)!

IMO, it's actually quite hard to find good Samgyetang even in Korea... 

Therefore, my favourite Samgyetang is Tosokchon, located near Gyeongbokgung Station(경복궁역).

The restaurant will receive long queue if you're here during lunch hours. I'm quite "kiasu" therefor I reached there around 10:30AM (it opens at 10AM).
