2024 Seoul Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)
With its cutting-edge coolness and deep-rooted traditions, South Korea’s capital Seoul rivals other major Asian cities in culture, innovation, and as being one of the top tourist destinations in the region.Situated in the northwest of South Korea, Seoul developed into a megacity on the banks of the Han River. As the largest city in the country, it is also one of East Asia's most important cultural and financial centers. The capital has a population of nearly 10 million people that provides the workforce for the 17th richest cities in the world by GDP (in 2020). There are 25 districts where Jung-gu is the central district, Seocho-gu is ranked as the second richest district in South Korea, and Gangnam-gu is known for its concentrated wealth and very high standard of living.While today Seoul is the cultural, economic, and political center of South Korea, it had been the capital of Korea from 1394 until the formal division of the country into North (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (the Republic of Korea) in 1948. In fact, the name Seoul means “capital” in the Korean language. The size of the capital has expanded dramatically in recent decades, now the northwestern edge lies only about 40 km (25 miles) from the demilitarized zone that divides North and South Korea.There are so many first-rate scenic spots on offer in Seoul and it is impossible to see them all if you only have a few days. Attractions in the city have a perfect mix of modern and ancient, tranquil and vibrant, well suited for tourists of all ages. Make sure you admire the amazing architectural design of the Gyeongbokgung Palace, chill out at the Cheonggyecheon stream, get dressed up in traditional clothing at Bukchon Hanok Village, and sample everything in Dongjin Market. And when you want to escape all the urban hustle and bustle, you can have a relaxing picnic at Hangang Park, take a stroll in the Seoul forest, and breathe the fresh air in Haneul Park.Visitors flying into Seoul have the luxury of choosing from two international airports, Incheon International Airport and Gimpo International Airport. Both airports are linked to downtown by the AREX trains which only take 40-60 minutes to reach Seoul Station in the city center. The fast and affordable Seoul Metro system has 10 lines, all with user-friendly multilingual signs making navigating the city easy for tourists.

Silver Grass and Stunning Sunset: An Autumn Evening at Seoul's Olympic Park
#bestsunset #100waysoftravel #olympicparkseoul #sunset #silvergrassfestival #autumn #Seoulautumn
We headed to Olympic Park in Seoul in late autumn, drawn by the allure of the silver grass fields, which are known to reach their peak beauty during this season. The park, with its expansive open spaces and winding paths, is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, especially in the autumn months when the fields turn into a sea of silver waves. To our delight, we were greeted by a stunning sunset that painted the sky in soft hues of orange, pink, and gold. The silver grass shimmered under the golden light, creating a magical atmosphere that felt almost surreal. The contrast of the vibrant sunset with the delicate, silvery grass made for the perfect scene, not just for admiring nature but also for portrait photography. Many people around us were taking advantage of the soft, warm lighting, and we couldn't resist capturing a few photos of our own. The combination of the breathtaking sunset and the serene beauty of the silver grass created an unforgettable moment, showcasing the best of Seoul’s autumn charm.
What I Like Most Is Eating Like A Local In Korea! 🇰🇷
#eatlikealocal #food #foodie #korea
A traditional meal and Eating Habits in Korea is served with rice, vegetables and kimchi.
Soybean-paste vegetable soup and a dish of kimchi — with side dishes (panch'an) such as steamed or seasoned vegetables, fish, meats, and other foods — make up the basic everyday meal.
We love the ginseng chicken soup and the Korean bbq!
Drink it with beer or soju in the cold weather is just perfect to warm the body!
I really enjoyed it!

An Ancient rich 🇰🇷 history in Gyeongbokgung Palace
#ancienttown #korea #palace #100waysoftravel
My visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace was a captivating journey into Korea’s rich history. The grandeur of the palace grounds is striking, with beautifully preserved architecture that showcases traditional Joseon Dynasty design. As I wandered through the impressive gates and courtyards, I could feel the weight of history surrounding me.
The Changing of the Guard ceremony was a highlight, with colorful uniforms and precise movements that added to the vibrant atmosphere. The gardens, particularly in the autumn, were a delight, filled with blooming flowers and serene ponds that provided a perfect backdrop for photos.
Inside the National Palace Museum, I learned about Korea's royal heritage and artifacts, which deepened my appreciation for the culture.
Overall, Gyeongbokgung Palace is a must-visit for anyone in Seoul. It’s a perfect blend of history, beauty, and cultural significance, making it an unforgettable experience.

Where Flowers and History Flourish: Gwanghwamun Square in Bloom 🇰🇷
#flowerblossom #seoul #100waysoftravel
Gwanghwamun Square is a prominent public plaza located in the heart of Seoul, South Korea, stretching along Sejong-ro, one of the city's main boulevards. It serves as a cultural and historical hub, connecting modern Seoul with its rich past. During spring and autumn season, Gwanghwamun Square transforms into a vibrant display of cherry blossoms and azaleas, adding a beautiful contrast to its historical surroundings. The square becomes a popular spot for leisurely strolls, photography, and springtime festivals, attracting both locals and tourists. The blooming flowers enhance the charm of this iconic Seoul landmark, offering a serene escape amidst the bustling city.
In Seoul! The Han River is just downstairs, I'm in love!
The Conrad Seoul occupies one of the four towers of the Seoul IFC, and like Shanghai and Hong Kong, the location of the IFC is equivalent to the CBD of the city. Starting from the hotel, you can easily take the Seoul subway system to various places. Whether you want to go shopping in Myeongdong or meet Korean stars in Namsan, the Conrad Seoul will be the ideal starting point for your entire journey.
With 434 stunning super large rooms, the basic rooms also have
48 square meters~ With charming views, some room types can enjoy the unobstructed views of the Han River and Seoul. The room design is business-oriented, with an electronic control panel at the head of the bed, and everything in the room can be controlled through it. The 37 Grill & Bar on the 37th floor has excellent views and is a must-see place, with 180-degree city and river views. The iconic spiral staircase of the Flame Lounge, the 40m staircase is really impressive
Hot Spot in Jamsil: Dotori Forest

Seoul where to go: Ikseon-dong Hanok Village
#traveldiaries
Near Gyeongbokgung Palace, in the Jongno district, lies Ikseon-dong Hanok Village, a place filled with traditional Korean charm. To get there from Gyeongbokgung, take subway line 3, ride for two stops, and get off at Jongno 3-ga Station. Take exit 6 and walk 300 meters to reach the village. This area is lined with shophouses decorated in the ancient Korean style, making it an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. Here, you'll find a variety of establishments, including coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and souvenir stores. While the traditional Korean aesthetic is prominent, many shops also feature decorations inspired by other countries, such as France and Italy, providing a diverse cultural experience. Spending half a day exploring this village is definitely worth your time.

Namsan Forest during autumn season 🍁
#forest
#100waysoftravel
It has been 3years since our last visit to Korea, I still cannot get over with the beauty it has to offer! We came by this Namsan Tower area and was not expecting anything more than a tower, we went through the long and difficult way to go up to the observatory desk up the hill.
We pass by this lovey Namsan forest along the way, notice there are also some people are jogging and running their way up. We enjoyed the autumn beauty of Korea and it will be always in our memory!
Seoul, South Korea | 3 days of shopping and eating are enough!
💕 If you don't want to run around sightseeing in Seoul, just shop and eat, 3 days including Friday and the weekend are definitely enough.
✈️ In terms of transportation, the most convenient way is from Shanghai Hongqiao to Gimpo. Once you arrive at Gimpo, there is a direct subway to Hongdae, which only takes 30 minutes and you can use the Tmoney transportation card. When taking the plane, it is recommended to choose a seat near the front row, and walk quickly to the customs after getting off the plane, so that there are fewer people in line, and you can get through customs in about 15 minutes. However, there is no GM when returning to Gimpo Airport, and there are not many shops to visit.
🏠 For accommodation, it is highly recommended to stay in Hongdae. I personally think it is better to choose a hotel or a homestay with an elevator. I didn't pay much attention this time, and I found a homestay without an elevator. When I moved the boxes, I really had a little breakdown.
☕️ One of the characteristics of South Korea is coffee. I was in the rhythm of two cups a day there. Let me share with you a few coffee shops I have visited (ranked by personal preference):
1⃣️ Susanghan Bagel
The main thing here is that the bagels are super delicious! Especially the Qingyang Chili Scallion Bagel, which looks like a dark dish, but as long as you take a bite, you will definitely fall in love with it. Their coffee is also very good. It is very close to Hongdae, and it is very suitable as a breakfast check-in place.
2⃣️ Fritz
Their logo is a cute little seal. I had breakfast here for two days in a row. The coffee in Seoul is generally light, the kind of light roast, with a strong aroma but not a particularly strong coffee flavor. It is located near Hongdae.
3⃣️ Anthracite
It is said that this shop is in the top ten in the world, but I don't think it is much different from Fritz. It may be because I personally prefer coffee with a strong coffee flavor. I recommend everyone to go to the Hannam-dong store. You can have a cup after shopping.
4⃣️ OATS
I personally feel that their Viennese coffee is a bit too sweet, but the appearance is still very good, and the street in front of the store is super suitable for taking photos.
Oh, by the way, the atmosphere of coffee shops in South Korea is super good, and it is very suitable for taking photos with a Polaroid camera.
🥢 Food:
Soy crab must be the first! I recommend Pyeonghae's. There is also 24h potato pork bone soup, which is super popular, but there are too many people, and you have to queue for 3 hours. You can only wait on the spot, and there is no air conditioning. There are also relatively few seats. I can only give up in the end. I feel that the barbecue here is not much different from the Korean Street in Shanghai.
🎬 Shopping:
I highly recommend Hannam-dong, where shops are more concentrated. At the end of July, it is the discount season, and the discounts are quite attractive. However, it is also the rainy season, and the weather is hot and humid, even hotter than the plum rain season in Shanghai. Everyone should be mentally prepared.
A Paradise for Character Lovers! Pooh Pop-up Store Honey House.
Hot pop-up stores are famous enough to have lines of people waiting.
As a character lover, I visited the Honey House pop-up store.
From the entrance, it was filled with cute Pooh characters,
making it feel like stepping into a fairy tale. The pop-up store
was decorated with adorable details, making it a perfect place
for taking photos.
There was a wide variety of Pooh-related merchandise,
including plush toys, mugs, and stationery, making it fun to browse.
There were many limited edition products, and everything was so
cute that I wanted to buy them all.
The space was small compared to the number of people,
so it was crowded on weekends. It might be better to visit
popular pop-up stores on weekdays!

Exploring Seoul: Must-Visit Spot - Haebangchon
When I visited Haebangchon Market, I was struck by its unique atmosphere where tradition and modernity harmoniously coexist. As I walked along the market alleys, I noticed a mix of old shops and newly opened, characterful stores. The quaint market vibe combined with trendy cafes and eateries gave Haebangchon its distinctive charm.
In particular, the food I tasted at the small eateries within the market was heartwarming. The homemade dishes, though not flashy, were rich in flavor. There were also small craft beer pubs and vintage shops scattered around, offering visitors a special experience. Walking through the alleys, I encountered murals and art pieces, adding to the fun of exploring the market.
Despite its lively atmosphere, Haebangchon Market exuded a sense of relaxation and comfort. It was a place where the old and new coexisted, allowing for diverse cultural experiences and interactions with people. It had a unique charm that couldn't be felt in other parts of Seoul, making it a market I would love to visit again.
A luxury hotel in Seoul that is quiet and comfortable.

Korean Seoul Solo Dining Recommendation - 미도인.
미도인 (味道人) has multiple branches in Korea, and this time I visited the branch in Hongdae✨ The restaurant's decor is mainly wood-based, giving a bit of a retro feel, and the pendant lights inside are very beautiful~🩷
🤍Homemade Sirloin Steak (S-₩16,800)
You can choose the portion size of the meat, and I chose S! (It's already enough for one girl to be full😌) The sirloin steak is tender and juicy, very delicious🤤 There's also a sweet and smooth pumpkin soup~🥣
Additionally, I ordered a cup of 체리뱅쇼 (₩4,500)🍒 The cherry sweetness stands out, and the overall taste is fresh and refreshing, perfect for summer🤩
If you're traveling solo in Seoul, I highly recommend dining at 미도인🥰

Deoksugung Palace Inside and Out
Every time I visit Seoul City Hall, I make sure to stop by Deoksugung Palace. Touring the palace, including Seokjojeon Hall, is always enjoyable, but it's also a delightful experience to view Deoksugung from the Plaza Hotel right in front of it while having a meal. Whether inside or outside, the palace always offers a stunning view.

Relax in the Heart of the City at Namsangol Hanok Village
The only place in Seoul where you can see the coexistence of urban and natural landscapes is Namsangol Hanok Village.
Five traditional houses from the Joseon Dynasty have been restored and turned into exhibition spaces, preserving their original atmosphere. It's a great travel destination for experiencing traditional folk activities and performances, and it's also recommended for leisurely enjoyment in the pavilions.
Personally, I found the view of Cheonugak Pavilion, the pond, and Namsan Tower together to be quite beautiful. 🖼️

A Day at Leeum: A Journey Through Time and Art
#myhiddengems
#korea
Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul. I've heard so much about this museum's stunning architecture and impressive collection, and I wasn't disappointed.
The moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the unique blend of tradition and modernity. The museum is divided into two main buildings: Museum 1, designed by Mario Botta, and Museum 2, designed by Jean Nouvel. Each building has its own distinct character, but they both complement each other perfectly.
I started my visit in Museum 1, which houses a collection of traditional Korean art. The intricate ceramics, delicate paintings, and elegant calligraphy were simply breathtaking. I was particularly impressed by the bronze statues, which seemed to come alive with their realistic expressions.
Next, I explored Museum 2, which showcases modern and contemporary art. The exhibits were thought-provoking and often challenging. I especially enjoyed the multimedia installations, which combined technology with art in innovative ways.
One of the highlights of my visit was the museum's beautiful gardens. Taking a stroll through the peaceful surroundings was the perfect way to relax and reflect on the art I had seen.
Overall, my experience at Leeum was fantastic. The museum's collection is truly world-class, and the architecture is a marvel to behold. If you're ever in Seoul, I highly recommend visiting Leeum. It's a must-see for any art lover.
Deoksugung at Sunset
Deoksugung, where King Gojong resided during the Korean Empire period instead of Gyeongbokgung🙂. The Seokjojeon Hall, a modern architectural marvel at that time, creates a unique balance within the serene Hanok structures. Whenever I have a chance to visit near Seoul City Hall, I always include a stroll through Deoksugung in my itinerary. Enjoy a tranquil palace tour😊😊

Seoul Dongdaemun Design Plaza: A Cultural Landmark in Seoul
Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) is an iconic modern building in Seoul, South Korea, designed by Toyo Ito. Known for its streamlined appearance and avant-garde design, this modern structure serves as a hub for Seoul's urban culture and design.

This building is not only a venue for exhibitions and events but also houses a design museum, exhibition halls, and conference rooms, providing flexible spaces for designers and creative professionals. Additionally, it incorporates green design elements, with a rooftop garden and surrounding public spaces offering visitors a place to relax.
History and Culture in Seoul
If the Korean culture and history element fascinates tou. The Bukchon hambok village will be amongst the best sightseeing options for you in Seoul. It can come across as a bit touristy because this is no hidden gem and probably on many people's lists. Especially tour buses and other group arrivals. While that and the signs of reconstruction and newer houses in some places can be a slight spoiler.
But in essence this is what general life and living might have been like back in the days. Its a nice contrast from the mostly urban and metropolitan seeiming seoul. If you are coming in summer, this is going to involve plenty of walking. Meaning put on comfortable shoes and carry water. Should you faint and passout. You might get stepped on by Chinese tourists who are extremely busy clicking pictures and being loud and unaware of others privacy and existence. Bad joke, but be mindful. There are people living in houses. It's a nice half day trip to here.
#koreatrip#localguides #summerdestinations #seoultrip #100waysoftravel
Old Seoul
This is an interesting half day activity whike you are in Seoul. It is an area with traditional architecture and older streets. There are actually people living in there. So you are basicslly visiting a neighbourhood with traditional houses. It gives you a glimpse into seouls past.
This will work extremely well with people who appreciate cultural sights. Having said so, have realistic expectations. This can also be a crowded place. Starting sooner during the day will help beat the heat too. As it mostly requires walking, you should put on good footwear and keep yourself hydrated. Transport is fairly easy but if it seems complicated, you could consider taking a day tour which would involve the hambok village and several other sights. It takes care of your transport completely.
