Ewha Fashion Street Seoul

There are a few big department stores and streets lined with all the latest fashions, shoe shops, nail / hair salons and more. The best part about Fashion Street is the price. Being located next to a Ewha Womans University means two things. 1. This area is full of shops all aimed at women. 2. Students don’t tend to be the richest of people and all the shops price accordingly. You can find cheap and reasonable priced shops, gifts, services and food. A visit to Fashion Street is recommended along with Yonsei University Museum and the free museum at Ewha Womans University Museum and Ewha Natural History Museum or you could watch a movie at Megabox Sinchon.
