2025 Seoul Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)
Seoul is the capital city of South Korea. The temples and palaces of this city tell a long and storied history. The magnificent natural landscape and modern skyscrapers merge together to form a city that is both young and cultured. Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces are ancient palaces, while Bukchon Hanok Village and Namsangol Hanok Village are well-preserved traditional Korean villages. Seoul is a shopping paradise. In Myeong-dong, Dongdaemun Market, Sinsa-dong, and Samcheong-dong, you can find all kinds of cutting-edge fashions, including clothing, jewelry, and make-up. Once night falls, Seoul is even more magnificent. Climb atop the YTN Seoul Tower to feast your eyes on the city's glittering nightscape. The Han River is the background of many beloved Korean soap operas. Seoul's delicious food is not to be missed. Bibimbap, kimchi, and Samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup) are all delicious in their own right.

Seoul|Hyundai Yeouido Oh my god, it’s delicious and beautiful. I’m willing to go for it just for a bite of strawberry tiramisu!
Use a small spoon to gently tap it open, and you will enjoy both the visual and taste senses. There is so much filling inside that you can't even dig the bottom out with a spoon. The texture is dense and delicate, and you can tell the strawberry jam is made from fresh strawberries.
There is also a crispy white chocolate shell on the surface. Tap it with a loving spoon.
Once we dug in, we found that the ingredients were hidden very deep, the kind that you can’t get to the bottom of with just a spoon!
The strawberry jam is sour and sweet. You can tell it is made from fresh strawberries as soon as you taste it. Combined with the aroma of milk, the whole texture is very smooth. The most important thing is that it is not too sweet and you will not feel sick at all after eating it!

The best hotel to stay in Myeongdong! 2 minutes from the subway, very convenient for shopping and returning to the room
This time I came to Seoul and found a new hotel that opened in 2022.
Great location! class! none! enemy! good!
It’s a 2-minute walk from Myeongdong subway station and the Myeongdong shopping district is just down the stairs!
Lotte Duty Free Shop and Shinsegae Department Store are all nearby. You can’t shop all the way there in three days. You can go back to your room and lie down immediately after shopping until you are tired!
The overall facilities are very new, the counter staff are friendly and can speak Chinese.
When checking in, they also proactively asked about needs.
✔️ The sofa is comfortable to sit on
✔️ The bed was super comfortable
✔️ The pillow is just right
✔️ The bathroom is large and spacious

Seoul|Recommended Stay at Moxy Seoul Myeongdong|Super Convenient Location + Free Laundry Service
Moxy Seoul Myeongdong offers an excellent overall experience.
The hotel is located right next to the Myeongdong shopping district, very close to the subway lines 2 and 4. Whether you're shopping, enjoying local cuisine, or traveling around, the location is incredibly convenient!
This time, I stayed in a twin room, which has slightly less space compared to a double room. However, you can place your luggage in the small hallway near the entrance without affecting movement. Although the room is small, the smart design makes great use of space with plenty of hooks and practical storage solutions.
The bathroom features a separate wet and dry area, making it very comfortable to use. Amenities are complete, including toothbrushes, slippers, towels, bottled water, tea bags, and coffee.
- The free laundry and drying service is a lifesaver, especially for longer trips where you might run out of clothes.
- If you're coming from the currency exchange direction, you can walk down the slope.
- Alternatively, enter through the building entrance near the subway station, take the escalator down to B1, where staff will guide you to the correct floor, and then take the elevator to the fourth floor for check-in.
This hotel is perfect for those who love shopping and prefer hassle-free accommodations. The service, facilities, and location are all top-notch, making my stay very comfortable and enjoyable. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Seoul!

April only! Seoul Cherry Blossoms Explode 🌸These 3 romantic spots make you not want to go home
Every April, the whole of Seoul seems to be covered by a pink filter, so beautiful that it seems unreal. During this trip, we followed the footsteps of cherry blossoms and visited three highly recommended cherry blossom viewing locations. Each location has a different romantic atmosphere, so hurry up and grab some!
🌸 Seoul Forest
Cherry blossom trees are in full bloom along the trail, and next to it is the Understand Avenue container market, where you can drink coffee and take photos, which is very artistic. There aren't many people here, so it's perfect for those who want to enjoy the flowers quietly.
🌸 Yeouido Cherry Blossom Avenue
When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the whole road looks like it is surrounded by a pink ocean. This is a classic among classics! Whether you are strolling during the day or admiring the cherry blossoms after lighting them up at night, the beauty is breathtaking. It’s so sweet to see so many couples taking photos hand in hand under the cherry trees!
🌸 Hongdae Street
I didn’t expect that the bustling Hongdae area also hides many cherry blossom surprises! Whole rows of cherry blossom trees pop up from time to time in the alleys and street parks, and combined with the trendy street scenes, there is a sense of youthful and unrestrained romance.
The cherry blossom season is very short, expected to last only until around mid-April! If you want to see the full bloom picture, now is the best time!

Seoul Accommodation Recommendation|L7 Lotte Hotel: Super Convenient and Stylish Design!
The L7 Lotte Hotel (Lotte Hotel L7 Myeongdong) boasts an unbeatable location in the bustling Myeongdong shopping district. It's just a few minutes' walk from Myeongdong Subway Station, and there's an airport bus stop right at the entrance, making it incredibly convenient for travelers with luggage!
The hotel's design is very modern and stylish, with well-equipped rooms that immediately make you feel relaxed upon entering. Especially during a busy trip, being able to rest in such an environment is truly a treat.
In terms of service, the hotel staff are highly professional and friendly. Their English proficiency is excellent, ensuring quick and professional assistance whether you're asking questions or dealing with minor issues, which provides a sense of reassurance.
Additionally, the hotel is located near Myeongdong, one of Seoul's liveliest shopping areas. With a variety of shops, this place is truly a paradise for shoppers!
Seoul|Must-eat Fantasy Fruit Daifuku, must-buy gift items! Han Zhenxian's Fruit Mochi Daifuku is so beautiful that you won't want to eat it
Walking into "Han Zhenxian", it feels like traveling back to the traditional Korean pharmacy in Korean dramas: antique wooden cabinets, retro design, the atmosphere is quiet and full of cultural flavor. This is not an ordinary dessert shop, but a dreamy shop that combines tradition and hipster style.
What impressed me the most was their fruit mochi daifuku! Not only does it look premium, but it also tastes great. Each daifuku is individually packaged, and the outer box design is minimalist Korean style with full texture. It is very ceremonial whether you give it to friends, as a souvenir, or eat it yourself.
As soon as I walked into the store that day, I couldn't help but buy a few more boxes just by looking at the packaging. It really makes people hesitate whether to give it to others or keep it for themselves.
The best thing about Han Zhenxian is that you can enjoy the fruit filling in the first bite of every daifuku! Not too sweet
💰 Price reminder: one piece is between ₩4,000~₩5,500 (about NT$95~125), which is a bit extravagant but worth it!
To be honest, the price is not cheap. A daifuku costs about 4,000 to 5,500 won (about 95 to 125 Taiwan dollars). It may seem a bit luxurious if you eat it as a snack, but it is very sincere and decent to give it as a souvenir. Each one is individually packaged, and the outer box is in Korean literary style, simple and textured, and it is definitely a perfect gift!

Seoul|More fun than Songyan! The EQL boutique in Seongsu-dong is a must-visit for design fans. Enter the most beautiful boutique in Seoul!
This time when I came to Shengshuidong, I was completely amazed by this super design lifestyle product store EQL! The store is located next to Exit 3 of Seongsu Station. There is a super cute NOUNOU graffiti installation on the outer wall, which is recognizable at a glance. Walking in will really make you forget yourself.
The entire store not only sells clothing and accessories, but also exclusively introduces a large number of design selections from all over the world, ranging from household items, scented candles, exquisite tableware to trendy small items. You can stand in the fragrance area alone and smell it for half an hour (laugh)
I particularly like the space design style of their store - it retains the openness of the warehouse industrial style, combined with natural plants and soft light, it is beautiful to take pictures in any corner ✨ Each exhibition area is like a small exhibition, arranged in an orderly manner without losing warmth, it is a paradise for design lovers
Take the MRT to Shengshui Station and exit 3. It is right there. We recommend going before noon on weekdays when there are fewer people.
A half-day trip can be arranged together with the Seongsudong Cultural and Creative Cafe and nearby street pop-up shops.
📍EQL Shengshui Store
서울 성동구 성수동1가 685-700

The pork chop is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the noodles are very chewy. When paired with side dishes, the overall taste is even better. The restaurant's environment is also simple and comfortable, making people feel very relaxed. Overall, the food provided by this restaurant is very good and it is a recommended choice that is both convenient and affordable!

Seoul|The most underrated free attractions! This comic street can be seen in the same frame as the Namsan Tower. Don’t miss this hidden comic street
This time when I came to Seoul, I unexpectedly discovered a private attraction that is both interesting and great for taking photos - Myeongdong Mural Street! I didn’t expect that next to the bustling shopping district, there is such a creative and childlike street. Not only is the entire wall covered with Korean hand-painted comic illustrations, there are also many interactive photo spots, making it so cute no matter how you take photos!
The most surprising thing is that you can take a picture of Namsan Seoul Tower and the mural at the end. It's really dreamy. There is no entrance fee here. It is completely free to enter. It is suitable for 30 minutes to take pictures and relax when visiting Myeongdong.
We arrived around 10 in the morning and there were almost no people there. We walked slowly up the graffiti-covered slope, taking photos along the way, going back and forth trying to use different angles to capture the Namsan Seoul Tower and the street scene in the frame. Each photo seems to capture a small happy moment in life, and there is a sense of romance in this city that can be quietly explored.
This area is really great for taking a slow walk and discovering surprises. Every wall and every corner may hide an unexpected photo spot. But a reminder,
If you are bringing your elders or friends with limited mobility, you may want to consider it carefully because the slope here is very steep and there are many stairs, so it will be more difficult to walk.
Come out of Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station and walk for about 5 minutes to reach Comic Street. It is recommended to combine shopping and eating in Myeongdong together!

Seoul|The beef soup of the locals at the express bus station is refreshing
If you love shopping until your legs hurt like I do, and want to find a cheap and cool place to sit down and eat something, then you must not miss this inconspicuous little udon restaurant in the underground mall of the Expressway Bus Terminal!
It is located at a corner of the underground street. It is inconspicuous but there are always a few local Koreans queuing up there. The store is small and the decoration is very simple, but it has a "daily feel" like what you see in Korean dramas - it's the kind of small canteen where office workers come to eat a bowl after get off work and where Ah Ju's mothers come to sit after shopping.
Ordered a bowl of hot beef soup rice
The soup is simple but not boring, it tastes a bit like a refreshing version of Korean soup stock. After eating, all the sweat disappeared, because! The air conditioning is really strong~
Although it is not a popular online store, the food is very filling and not expensive, so I highly recommend coming here to replenish your energy.

Stroll and explore Walking on the streets of Seoul, you will discover many creative public art installations!
Walking on the streets of Seoul, in addition to the daily hustle and bustle, you can also inadvertently discover some creative public art installations, making the entire city's landscape more vivid.
Seoul’s city walk is simply an art tour. Whenever I walk in different neighborhoods, I am always pleasantly surprised to encounter various large-scale art installations, whether they are colorful sculptures or interactive installations combined with modern technology. These works not only decorate the city’s space, but also inject a breath of art into people’s daily pace.
What impressed me most was a peculiarly shaped metal sculpture along the Cheonggyecheon Stream, which cleverly blends in with the water flow and the surrounding environment. Walking on these creative and vibrant streets, it really makes people feel that Seoul is not just a city, it is also a large art exhibition full of surprises everywhere!

Seoul|I stayed at Motel Haru unexpectedly and was so happy that it had Netflix!
We didn't have much expectation for staying at Motel Haru this time, simply because it was close to our accommodation the day before, and it was already late when we arrived that day, so we just wanted to find a place to rest for the night. Unexpectedly, this night’s stay gave me a little surprise!
Although the room is simple, it is fully equipped. What surprised me most is that it provides Netflix. During the trip, I can lie on the bed and watch my favorite movies and TV series leisurely. It is really an unexpected way to relax, which makes me feel relaxed and comfortable during the short rest time. Although we only stayed overnight, this detail made this motel memorable in my mind.
Overall, this stay was beyond my expectations. Although Motel Haru is a simple accommodation option, its small touches and extra entertainment facilities make it highly recommended.

Seoul|Yeouido’s super popular food truck burger, the aroma is so tempting that you’ll fall in love with it in one bite!
This hamburger truck is not big, but its appearance is very eye-catching and the overall texture is very good. The boss looks very young, with quick movements. The ingredients are cooked to order, and each piece of beef steak is fried on the iron plate with a sizzling sound and a fragrant aroma. The burger was served piping hot, with juicy meat and crispy bread on the outside and soft on the inside.
The first time I bought it, I ate it while walking; the second time I came again in the evening, sat on the stone steps by the river, ate a burger while watching the sunset dye the entire sky red. At that moment, I felt so satisfied and happy.

Seoul|3 reasons to love Yeouido! There are unexpected romantic corners hidden among the tall buildings, you can’t miss it!
This is my third visit to Yeouido during my trip to Seoul. Every time I come, the time and weather are different, and the atmosphere I feel is completely different.
Many people's first impression of Yeouido is "high-rise buildings and a strong commercial atmosphere", but after visiting it in person this time, they found that it is actually an urban oasis that combines modern architecture and natural beauty. Here are three reasons why I recommend visiting Yeouido.
1. The sunset at Han River Park is so romantic!
When you come to Yeouido, you must go for a walk in Han River Park. Whether you rent a bicycle and roam along the river bank, or sit on the grass and watch the sun slowly set, it is a great choice to heal your body and mind, and it is definitely worth taking out your camera to capture!
2. National Assembly Building & Yeouido Park
Don’t think there are only office buildings here. In fact, Yeouido Park is super beautiful and great for taking photos. The appearance of the National Assembly Building is solemn and spectacular. Friends who like architectural aesthetics should not miss it!
3. There are many cafes here, a paradise for young people with a sense of style
You will find a specialty coffee shop every few steps, whether it is Korean minimalist style or retro nostalgic style. Some of them offer views of the Han River. It is really relaxing to drink coffee and enjoy the scenery.
Although Yeouido is the center of finance and politics, the pace of life here is slower than that in the city center, which allows people to calm down and appreciate the other side of the city. Recommended for those who want to see a different side of Seoul. You will fall in love with it once you come!

The cutest check-in spot in Seoul! Hello Kitty's new theme cafe is Seoul's newest fantasy attraction! 3 highlights reveal the girlish magic of Hello Kitty Apple-themed Cafe🍎
A new cafe hidden in the alleys of Myeongdong - Hello Kitty "Apple Cafe". With Kitty’s most classic “apple” as the theme, a dream space combining dining, check-in, and boutique shopping was created. It attracted a large number of fans as soon as it opened. Even someone like me who is not a veteran Kitty fan was completely attracted!
As soon as you walk into Apple Cafe, it feels like you have entered a pink fairy tale world. There is a giant apple-shaped wall at the entrance, and a Hello Kitty greeting customer in a barista uniform, which makes people want to take a dozen photos. The interior space design continues the Apple elements, and every corner is designed very carefully. It is not just a background for photo taking, but more like an interactive mini exhibition.
After eating, don’t miss the boutique area at the back, where there are many limited edition peripheral products that can only be bought in Apple Cafe, including apple-shaped Kitty bags, mugs, postcards, candy boxes, etc. Each one will make you want to scream!
No reservation is required here, but you may have to queue up during popular hours. It is recommended to avoid visiting on holiday afternoons when there are fewer people and you can take more beautiful photos. If you happen to be traveling in Seoul and want to find a place that is both relaxing and great for taking photos, Apple Cafe will definitely make your girlish heart burst!

Seoul|Wasted half an hour looking for the way. This hidden retro cafe is actually in the alley! The nostalgic atmosphere of Euljiro in Seoul is amazing!
This time when I came to Seoul, I specifically wanted to explore some retro coffee shops. I heard that Coffee Korean Pharmacy and Huimindang were very charming, so I prepared to navigate to them on Euljiro 3-ga. However, I didn’t expect that I would wander around in the alley for a long time and couldn’t find the right way. I almost gave up!
Later, I asked the locals and found out that this super popular coffee shop was hidden in an inconspicuous alley.
When you enter the cafe, you will be immediately attracted by the space full of 1920s nostalgic atmosphere. Not only is there retro decoration here, but there are also many vinyl records playing, making the whole environment more retro. Every corner is full of history, as if returning to the past time, making people completely relaxed. Although it is a hidden gem, it is a favorite among locals during holidays, and on weekends, many people often come here to enjoy delicious desserts and coffee.
