Where to enjoy a quiet, retro vibe
One of the few remaining used bookstore alleys in Korea, with numerous bookstores lining the narrow streets. They carry all kinds of books, including reference and textbooks, children's books, comic books, foreign books, and more. You can buy both new and used books at low prices, as well as sell them. Beyond books, there are also vinyl records, old magazines, and out-of-print books, making it fun to rummage through the stacks. There are photo studios, book cafes, and more throughout the alleyway. Every October, the Bosu-dong Bookstore Alley Cultural Festival is hosted, featuring plenty of events to participate in including movie screenings and talks with authors.
