## Content

Itaewon is a place where people of different nationalities and ethnicities gather. You can taste foods from around the world and see an exotic mosque. As U.S. military bases were established in the past, this area developed into a neighborhood where many foreigners lived in Seoul, and in 1997 it was designated as Seoul’s first tourist special zone. In Itaewon, you can enjoy shopping in various areas such as 'Itaewon Furniture Street', where European antique furniture is gathered, and 'Gyeongnidan-gil'. You can also enjoy foods that are not usually easy to find, such as halal food, Turkish or Pakistani cuisine, and British-style pubs, at restaurants run directly by owners from those countries.
