But due to a lack of time or other reasons, we seldom had the chance to properly explore the area until this time. And we were happy to discover a very lively area full of coffee shops, restaurants, art galleries and boutiques specializing in K-fashion. In general there\u2019s plenty of stuff to do in Garosu-gil. So we do recommend that you give yourself enough time to explore the area. There\u2019re many eating options so you\u2019ll be able to refuel with some delicious Korean food if you need to.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"nextgen_pro_blog_gallery\" id=\"displayed_gallery_9016\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"image-wrapper\" style=\"width: 800px\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/gangnam-shopping-seoul\/Gangnam-shopping-0382054.jpg\"\n\t\t   title=\"\"\n           data-src=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/gangnam-shopping-seoul\/Gangnam-shopping-0382054.jpg\"\n           data-thumbnail=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/gangnam-shopping-seoul\/thumbs\/thumbs_Gangnam-shopping-0382054.jpg\"\n           data-image-id=\"3875\"\n           data-title=\"GAROSU-GIL SHOPPING GUIDE\"\n           data-description=\"\"\n\t\t   class=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"9016\">\n\t\t   \t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"GAROSU-GIL SHOPPING GUIDE\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-alt=\"GAROSU-GIL SHOPPING GUIDE\"\n                width=\"800\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/gangnam-shopping-seoul\/Gangnam-shopping-0382054.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<noscript>\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"GAROSU-GIL SHOPPING GUIDE\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"GAROSU-GIL SHOPPING GUIDE\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"http:\/\/earthtoiris.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/gangnam-shopping-seoul\/Gangnam-shopping-0382054.jpg\"\n          width=\"800\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/noscript>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to get to Garosu-gil is by taking the Subway to Sinsa Station and take exit number 8 (see location on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com.hk\/maps\/place\/South+Korea,+%EC%8B%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%97%AD\/@37.5198357,127.0123493,16z\/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x357ca3e9b20a0e89:0xbd2b425319f1fcd5?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Google maps<\/a>).
