- LeonhknyHong Kong, China13,893 contributionsHalf-deadThis is a prime shopping street at Seoul's upscale Gangnam district. With major brands like Air Jordan, Apple and Zara, this is a typical leafy boulevard found elsewhere in the world, all offering the same collection of pricey apparel and accessories. Almost half of the shop spaces are vacant during our visit. Perhaps it had better times before Covid. Overall, not too attractive for first-time visitor.Visited November 2022Written 13 November 2022
- ssaikiaPalo Alto, California43 contributionsCute, fashionable & energetic area in Gangnam (next to Sinsa Station) with shops, cafes, restaurants & barsThis is a cute & fashionable neighborhood w lots of shops, bars, restaurants, cafes etc in Gangnam next to Sinsa Station. It is walking distance from my hotel (Four Points Sheraton Gangnam). It’s a lively area but not too crowded. I loved the shops (both brand names and boutiques) on the main Garuso-Gill street. The side streets with the bars, restaurants, cafes etc were also entertaining. Overall, I loved the energy.Visited August 2023Travelled soloWritten 27 August 2023
- shufen314Singapore, Singapore13 contributionsBetter than MyeongdongI went to both Garosu-gil and Myeongdong shopping streets and I have to give Garosu-gil 2 thumbs up! As a cafe / coffee lover, I recommend exploring this place! You will find unique and hipster coffee houses as well as the usual coffee houses (such as Line Cafe) you will commonly find in Korea. Moreover, you see people wear really trendy and fashionable clothes here than in Myeongdong. Another bonus point is there are quite a number of insta-photo spots where you can take nice photos :)Visited June 2018Travelled as a coupleWritten 16 July 2018

Maybe it’s the chuseok holiday, most shops are closed and hardly any people. We did see the Apple store plus other fast casual brands , and local korean brands and shops. Even without the holiday, seems like a small area

A short street that is beautifully decked out for Christmas. They even dress up the trees with knitted wraps. Lots of interesting retail shops.

This place was shown as one of the attractions in Gangnam but we didn’t like it. It was boring, not many people walking around or shops worth going in. Overall, it was a disappointing experience and a waste of time. Perhaps it would look nicer in the evening when lights are lit up (we noticed string lights connecting trees) but unfortunately we’ll not be visiting again to find out..,

Many luxury and trendy shops. Window shopping is fun. There are local skin care shops along the street. Less touristy compared to other shopping street.

Yes this is a fancy area, where locals shop, but sales assistants are just rude or don't offer you any service. It's a stark contrast to shopping in Myeondong, and after visiting Garosu-gil, I actually prefer it. Even a restaurant we had dinner at a couple of streets back from the main strip gawked at us.

Most shops closes around 9 - 10pm.
Trazy . com has a pretty good guide on all the shops/restaurant opening hours.
