In the Gwanghwamun area, you can find a variety of cafes.

In the Gwanghwamun area, you can find several branches of a cafe called “Coffee Tour.” In the alley behind Kyunghee Palace’s Morning Office, you can find a very small cafe with the same name, “Coffee Tour.” If you head a bit further north towards Gyeongbok Palace or Gwanghwamun, you’ll find another vintage cafe also named “Coffee Tour.” They look so similar that you might even think they are operated by the same place.
