Insadong
No visit to Seoul is complete without exploring the capital's
heart and artistic soul: the alleyways of the Insadong district,
known colloquially as 'Mary's Alley'. More than 100 antique shops
and countless art galleries are tucked away here, delighting
collectors and casual browsers alike. From ancient Chinese pottery
to yellowed books and delicate jewellery, most visitors manage to
find a treasured souvenir or special gift among the quaint stores.
There are plenty of restaurants, taverns and traditional teahouses
in the area, too, to ensure shoppers stay refreshed.

Money
South Korea's monetary unit is the won (KRW). Currency can be
exchanged at most banks and at casinos, and travellers cheques
cashed at authorised banks and hotels. Most merchants in the cities
accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards, but
Koreans traditionally prefer cash. ATMs at banks are usually
accessible only during banking hours, and instructions on the
machines are generally only in Korean. Public ATMs at convenience
stores and subway stations are generally available 24 hours. US
Dollars are an accepted form of foreign currency and can be used as
US Dollars in the areas around the American Military bases in South
Korea.
