Buam-dong is charming and peaceful neighbourhood popular for its great cafes, classic restaurants and famous art galleries.

Nestled between Inwangsan and Bukhansan Mountains, it offers great views at every turn and probably, the best kept 'secret' in Seoul.

The coffee shop, Sanmotoonge is made famous as the film site of the Korean drama, 'The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince'.

It is a lovely brick house with breathtaking panoramic view of Northern Seoul and Seoul City Wall.

On top, its tastefully designed rooms and amazing terrace view provide great photo-taking opportunities.
