Arc n’ Book Seoul: 2024 First Impressions

Hello, dearies! Welcome to a new Adventure! 📚

Last year (2024) I decided to hop on a journey of bookstores of Seoul, and Arc n’ Book was one of those that I visited. Why didn’t I visit more of these in 2023 on my first visit to the country is beyond me, but probably something to do with being awed by everything. 😸

Today we’re going to Arc n’ Book in LOTTE World Mall, there are others branches but this is the one that pop up to me first since I was in the area.

BTW, you can watch the full walking tour around the store on my vLog here:

So, the bookstore is big and they not only sell books but accessories and cute themed things from the Wizarding World of HP to most anime out there, so take your pick.

I was browsing until I found something to buy, which is not difficult for me, what is difficult is to choose a few things and not grab items after item from the shelves.

But in any case, I did end up getting some cool stuff and if I understood Korean better (Work in Progress) I would have bought a few books, too.

I went to the Arc N Book at the LOTTE World Mall, it’s on the 4th Floor and you can take a cool picture in the Arc (Tunnel) right in the middle of the bookstore, why? Because it’s fun and looks super iconic.

Arc n Book – My View?

I loved being in there, of course. It’s perfect for readers and enthusiasts, too. But since it has other stuff beside books there is a lot of people checking out everything in it, so it’s an awesome scene. 💌

There is a café outside (beside it) and there are multiple sitting areas inside the bookstore so you can also relax and read in there. I didn’t spend much on this bookstore but I did at YP Books, which is another one to visit when in Seoul, but that’s another story for another day, don’t miss out on it soon. 😊

And that’s all from me, I hope you enjoy the walking tour inside the store, and I’ll be sharing the Arc n Book Haul soon on YouTube, make sure to check it out next.

Thank you for coming to take a pick into my world of bookish adventures in Seoul and soon I’ll share some more. I also have the anime haul from Hongdae and a Studio Ghibli Haul available.

Travel and be Yourself! 🐉
