You don’t have to go far to enjoy a warm spa in the middle of winter. If you look for it with your eyes wide open, you can enjoy warm healing even in the busy city. If you soak your feet in hot water with medicinal herbs and drink herbal tea that suits your body, you will not be envious of Germanium Hot Springs. All of this is possible at an oriental foot bath cafe in the city center. ‘Solgaheon’ in Seochon, Jongno-gu, Seoul is full of the scent of pine, just like its name. ‘Te Therapy Haengrang Store’, located side by side with Solgaheon with Gyeongbokgung Palace in between, has a variety of menus as well as herbal tea, and ‘Yakdabang Bom-dong’ near Hongik University boasts a modern atmosphere. There are many hidden attractions in Jongno-gu, where Solgaheon and Tea Therapy Haengrang are located. The General Post Office, which is a 10-minute walk from Gwanghwamun, is the first post office in Korea that opened in 1884. Next to Kyobo Book Center in Gwanghwamun, there is the Ching-gyeong Memorial Monument for the 40th year of King Gojong’s accession, and the National Museum of Korean History is located on the way up to Gyeongbokgung Palace. On the way to Sajikdan, you can recall the painful history at Gyeonghuigung Palace.
