ITTIKOREA Recommendation Tips: It's more convenient if you bring cash. Shops in the alleys rather than in the center of the intersection offer more reasonable prices and shorter lines. After your meal, walking along Cheonggyecheon Stream to Jongmyo or Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) makes for a fulfilling walking tour of Jongno.
