@743 Welcome to the forum!

Would you please translate your answer to English? It’s the language used in all categories so everybody can understand the exchange.

(The only exception is the “Language and Geographical” part where we can use our own language in the section of our country. :wink:)

a translation: you can try going to the shops around tourist attractions, so as long as you can buy maps, you should be able to get postcards

In Seoul, first you can try visiting some touristic areas like Insadong. There you can get typical(but a bit ugly) touristic postcards. For non-touristic ones, I recommend stationery shops, such as Hottracks or Artbox. But most Koreans buy postcards online.

Also as I am living in Busan, I know better about the shops here…
You can get nice postcards at

  • Souvenir shop at Yongdusan Park(there is one in the tower as I heard)
  • Souvenir shop at Gwangalli beach. There are two: 여가거가광안리 and 오랜지바다.
  • Souvenir shop at Busan Station. The shop’s name is 동백상회.

N Seoul Tower is a perfect place to find and send postcards. The Secret garden has beautiful cards selling too. Souvenir shops in general :slight_smile: Even at Daiso you can find cute postcards.

hii! In Seoul, you can find some postcards in Myeongdong Tourist Information Center! Other places maybe bookstores like Kyobo, YPbooks also sells some postcards. Daiso would be a great option too!

In Busan, you can find some in Orange Bada (in Gwangalli Beach) or the souvenir shops in Blueline Park Haeundae (Sky Capsule) and Songdo Cable Car. They sell pretty postcards! Oh, and also the Creative Shop in Nampo also sells a lot of postcards! :smiley:

Hi! I’ll be visiting South Korea (Seoul, Busan) soon with the intention of posting lots of postcards! However, I want to make sure incase we can’t find any or get ripped of at a high price.

I also assume stamps would be sold at the Central Post Office in Seoul, or the museum for stamps there. But can anyone confirm this for me?

Any useful tips for travelling in SK would be great.
Thank you!

Korea only sells stamps at large post offices.
Yes, you can buy stamps at the central post office and the stamp museum.

Since Korea does not open a post office on weekends, you can only buy stamps at the stamp museum on weekends.
