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|The world's only floating artificial island is in Seoul. Explore it during the day and then go for the night view of Seoul Samgwangdo Island next time
Samgwangdo (세빛섬) is an artificial floating island located on the Han River in Seoul. It consists of three main islands and a multimedia art gallery. It is the world's first building complex that truly floats on the water. You can reach it by walking on the bridge connecting to the land.
This time I came during the day, and although I didn't get to see the legendary dreamy night light show, the overall space still made people feel spacious and healing. Standing by the Han River, walking on the floating island with the breeze feels particularly light.
I heard that Samgwang Island will be lit up with gorgeous lights at night, and the whole island will sparkle on the Han River, like a future world. Next time, I must come at night to experience this romance and shock!
📍Address: 서울특별시 서초구 올림픽대로 2085-14
🚇Transportation: Get off at the "Highway Bus Terminal" on Metro Line 3/7/9 and walk for about 15 minutes
📸Tips: If you want to take beautiful photos, it is recommended to come in the evening or at night, when the light and shadow changes are more layered!

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!

Taiwanese food in Seoul: Eat Korean braised pork at Bao Xu Yuan
One afternoon during my trip to Seoul, I suddenly missed Taiwanese food.
I didn't expect to encounter it near Hongdae.
This Taiwanese restaurant run by a Korean uncle - 바오 서울 (包徐苑), is hidden in a low-key building. At first glance, it looks like an art exhibition hall.
- Braised Pork Rice (₩6,500): The aroma wafts in as soon as it is served. The braised pork is minced but not greasy, and the addition of coriander instantly elevates the taste.
- Beef noodles (₩13,000): The soup was beyond expectation! The slightly sour aroma comes from a little bit of vinegar. The overall taste is layered and rich. The beef is braised until soft and tasty. The noodles are thick but have a good bite, a bit like something between sliced noodles and plain noodles.
Transportation:
From Mangwon Station or Hongik University Station, it's about a 10-minute walk. There are also many stylish coffee shops and small bookstores nearby, which are perfect for a half-day trip.
This is not the most authentic Taiwanese dish I have ever eaten, but it is the most thoughtful and nostalgic dish. If you are traveling in a foreign country and suddenly think of the braised pork rice at the corner of your home lane, you might as well come here and have a seat.

Seoul Myeongdong's VICXXO: A Burst of Cuteness
Stepping into VICXXO, tucked away in the alleys of Myeongdong, feels like entering a dreamy paradise for girls! The entire store is filled with pastel tones and Korean-style healing-themed items. From adorable cushions, scented candles, and Korean lifestyle products to creative stationery, phone cases, and stickers, you'll want to take everything home.
I originally just passed by, but once I stepped in, I couldn't stop myself. I circled the store three times and still didn't want to leave. The store's display is incredibly tasteful, and the prices are quite reasonable. No wonder I saw so many Korean girls walking out with bag after bag.
🛍 Recommended Items
✔️ Korean-style planners (thick paper, great for writing)
✔️ Pudding Bear keychains, mini cushions, phone cases
✔️ Scented products (perfect as thoughtful gifts)
🚇 How to Get There: Take Subway Line 4 to "Myeongdong Station," Exit 6. Walk for 3 minutes and enter the alley near UNIQLO.
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!
Steak lovers, save this quickly! The steak rice bowl and set meal at the Seishu Taste Restaurant are delicious. This Korean restaurant MiDoin is very popular in the area.
This low-key yet powerful "MiDoin 미도인" is really not to be missed! This branch in Seongsu-dong has a small storefront but hides a spacious and comfortable interior, which is really suitable for people who want to have a quiet meal.
At the popular Korean restaurant "Weidaren 미도인" in Sudong, I finally got to try two popular main dishes: steak rice bowl and steak set meal, both of which have different surprises!
🍱 Steak Rice: The sauce is sweet and goes really well with the tender steak. It's very satisfying to finish a whole bowl.
🍱 Steak set meal: The sauce is sour and refreshing, suitable for those who want to eat less greasy food.
🏠
The space is a bit narrow and the ceiling is a bit low, which makes it feel a bit oppressive, but the overall style is that of a country wooden house, which is quite warm. Suitable for a date or dining with friends
🚇Transportation
It is a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Seongsu Station on Subway Line 2.

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|A morning surrounded by the aroma of bread: French romantic time at LES AMIS HONNÊTES in Seoul
One of the most unforgettable mornings during my trip to Seoul was spent in a bakery and cafe called LES AMIS HONNÊTES.
As soon as you walk in, you will feel like you are surrounded by a fairy tale world. The store is decorated like a Parisian market, with the counters filled with a variety of handmade breads and desserts. Every corner is decorated with flowers and books, making it exquisite and warm, as if you were walking into a carefully arranged brunch party.
The bread at LES AMIS HONNÊTES is not only delicious, but also has a rich and non-greasy butter sandwiched between the soft croissants. Every bite is satisfying.
In addition to delicious bread, the staff in this shop are also very friendly. Even though I don’t speak Korean very well, they patiently introduced each item in English. I also packed their blueberry scones and croissant sandwiches

Seoul|Café|FÓLKI A very popular shop
A small shop with a minimalist design and a low-key appearance but a very textured feel. There were already people queuing at the door, and many people were taking pictures at the door with a cup of takeaway coffee.
FÓLKI is a cafe that not only serves quality drinks but also has an atmosphere that makes you want to revisit. Walking into such a small space full of design and having a cup of warm coffee is an ordinary but unforgettable healing experience. If you like to look for these warm moments during your travels like I do, FÓLKI will be a little happiness on your trip to Seoul.
I ordered a hot latte and sat by the window. FÓLKI's hot latte is definitely my favorite cup of coffee on this trip. A sip of the rich milk foam warms my whole body.
FÓLKI is not big but has a great atmosphere. There aren't many seats. If you want to sit inside for a while, it is recommended to avoid peak hours during the day on weekdays to have a better chance of getting a seat. This shop is actually very close to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. I recommend that you arrange a half-day tour. In the morning, go to Gyeongbokgung Palace to wear Hanbok and take beautiful photos, and then come to FÓLKI in the afternoon to enjoy coffee time. It is a perfect arrangement.
Address: 서울 종로구 자하문로7길 28 (28, Jahamun-ro 7-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul)
Transportation: Exit 1 of Gyeongbokgung Station, about 6 minutes’ walk
Business hours: Monday to Sunday 10:00 – 22:00 (but it is recommended to check IG first to confirm the business status)

Seoul|Understand Avenue Super Healing Market Understand Avenue Colorful Container Houses are great for taking photos! Colorful container wall instantly becomes a check-in background
What you absolutely cannot miss when you come to Understand Avenue is this row of colorful container house walls. No matter whether you are wearing bright colors or minimalist style, the photos will look very atmospheric! Each container house has a different paint job. Some are decorated with hand-painted graffiti, brand logos or retro elements. They look as good as a picture in any photo.
There are also small markets to visit on holidays, which are super cute!
There is often a handmade market on holidays, selling designer items, handmade accessories, illustrations, postcards. Some shops also sell perfumes, soaps, and even organic snacks from Korea. The overall atmosphere is gentle and healing. If you happen to come across a market day, be sure to take some time to stroll around, you will find many surprises!
Transportation: Take the subway to Seoul Forest Station Exit 3 and walk to the destination.

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|Finally made the decision! Skypark Hotel offers a super convenient location and simple yet filling breakfast.
During this trip to Seoul, I spent quite some time deciding on a hotel. In the end, I chose to stay at Skypark Hotel mainly because of its incredibly convenient location. Being a well-established hotel with a solid reputation, it gave me a sense of reassurance.
The hotel is situated in a bustling area, making it very convenient for shopping, dining, or taking the subway. For someone like me who loves exploring cities on foot, it’s the perfect base. The surrounding area is well-equipped with amenities, and I could easily grab a snack or drink before heading back to the hotel at night, which made me feel safe.
While the breakfast isn’t luxurious, it has all the essentials. The options are simple yet satisfying, and I felt full after eating. Starting the day with a hearty breakfast gave me the energy to enjoy my itinerary, which is very important to me.
Skypark Hotel is the kind of choice that won’t disappoint: not extravagant, but stable, comfortable, and convenient. If you’re looking for a hotel with a great location and a reliable brand, I’d recommend this one. It’s a place where you can stay with peace of mind.
Seoul|A paradise for those who love dry goods! Super fragrant sesame oil + dried seafood, perfect for shopping on weekday afternoons🦑
Avoiding the crowds and quietly strolling through the markets is my favorite time when traveling. This time, I visited a traditional market selling dried goods in Seoul on a weekday afternoon. It was not crowded and very pleasant to walk around.
There are almost no tourists here, and most of the people coming and going are local residents. The atmosphere is very simple and friendly. It does not have the noisy feeling of a tourist area, but instead has a more lifelike feel.
As soon as you step into the market, the air is filled with the rich aroma of sesame oil! Many stores squeeze sesame oil on site, and the aroma is so tempting that you can't help but take a deep breath (laughs)
In addition, many stalls sell simple snacks at very reasonable prices. You can be satisfied with a meal for ₩1,000 to ₩3,000, such as hot fish soup, spicy stir-fried rice cakes, and small portions of seaweed rice rolls.
📍Transportation:
It is easily accessible by subway from downtown Seoul (depending on where you stay, we will adjust the recommendation). It is recommended to visit on weekday afternoons when there are few people and it is more leisurely.

I didn’t expect that I would stumble upon BTOB x B’BE FRIENDS’ pop-up event “Freshory: Laundry Lab” while just taking a walk in Yeouido🫧! 💙

Fly to Bangkok in one second! Let’s eat at Tuktuk Noodle Thai, the most authentic Thai restaurant in Korea! Michelin-recommended Thai delicacies, a meal you cannot miss when visiting Seoul!
When you come to Seoul, you don’t just want to eat Korean barbecue and fried chicken. There are actually many hidden exotic foods waiting for you to discover! Tuktuk Noodle Thai, located in Seoul, is a Thai restaurant that is highly praised even by locals. It has even been recommended by the Michelin Guide, which shows that its strength should not be underestimated!
At the entrance of the restaurant stands a tuk-tuk, a Thai national means of transportation. It is colorful and very eye-catching, and is the restaurant’s most distinctive signboard. Walking into the store is full of surprises. The walls are covered with nostalgic posters and Thai decorative paintings, and the tables are covered with patterned tablecloths commonly seen in Thailand. The bold and colorful colors create a strong Southeast Asian atmosphere, as if you are on the streets of Bangkok in a second.
We ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes: the Tom Yum Goong soup was fragrant as soon as it was served, with just the right degree of sourness and spiciness, and the shrimps were super large, which was warming and appetizing; the pork rice was salty and fragrant, and it was paired with a half-boiled egg, which was really satisfying to eat with rice
Tuktuk Noodle Thai’s food tastes very authentic and the environment is very exotic. It is a rare high-standard Thai restaurant in Korea. If you want to change your taste when traveling to Seoul, this place is definitely worth a special pilgrimage!
📍Tuktuk Noodle Thai

Unexpected Romance at Hangang Park on a Weekday!
I visited the famous Hangang Park on a weekday afternoon and was surprised to find it bustling with people, making it feel nothing like a regular weekday. What amazed me the most was that despite it being a workday, the park was lively and filled with people enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.
The lawns of Hangang Park were covered with colorful picnic mats, and every corner was occupied by families, groups of friends, and many couples. What left the deepest impression was the sight of people setting up picnic areas with tents, even on a weekday. They brought their own food, savoring classic Korean delights like fried chicken, kimbap, and coffee. It felt as if time had slowed down, allowing everyone to bask in the embrace of nature and enjoy a moment of leisure and relaxation.
One couple, in particular, caught my attention and moved me deeply. Sitting together on a small picnic mat, they shared food with smiles, occasionally playing clips of K-dramas on their phone. The boy leaned gently against the girl, who smiled as brightly as a spring flower. The scene was like a classic romantic moment straight out of a K-drama. It felt as if the entire world revolved around them, and watching them, I couldn’t help but feel a touch of romance in the air.
As I quietly observed these scenes from the side, I felt a sense of warmth in my heart. Perhaps this is the Korean approach to life—cherishing every moment and finding joy in the smallest of happiness.
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.

Super convenient buffet restaurant in Fuping District! Ssada Gimbab pork chop rice and noodles are delicious and affordable, perfect for breakfast!
This restaurant in Fuping District is really convenient because it is very close to the subway station. If you want to have a simple and delicious breakfast in the morning, this is definitely a good choice! The restaurant adopts a self-service ordering system, and you can freely choose your favorite meals. This time we ordered pork chop rice and noodles, as well as a few side dishes. The taste was very good and the portion was just right, making us feel very satisfied.
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|Hongdae must go! This super cheap claw machine store made me so lucky. 500 won per round is too crazy! ZZANG GAMES
Normally in Taiwan, I would grab some dolls. So when I come to Korea, how can I not grab some cute dolls? This "ZZANG GAMES" claw machine store located in the Hongdae business district really made me addicted! This is absolutely the dream doll store in my mind: "high success rate, cheap and fun"!
The claws of this claw machine are stable: unlike the loose claws in some stores, the success rate of the machines here is super high. And there are so many kinds of dolls: all kinds of cute bears, tigers, and cartoon dolls. The decoration inside the store is very neon-style, and the atmosphere is perfect.
This is really one of the must-visit places when visiting Hongdae! I caught a lot of them myself and couldn’t stop. I recommend it to those of you who like cute dolls. Don’t miss this cheap and fun place!
Store name: ZZANG GAMES
Address: In Hongdae shopping district (the lighted sign is very conspicuous and easy to spot at night)
Price: Only ₩500 per time, almost half the price of other claw machines!

This stay really exceeded my expectations! The price is very high CP, and the location is perfect - it is not in the noisy shopping street, but it is very close to walk there. The quietness in the hustle and bustle is perfect for travelers who like shopping but don’t want to live in a noisy place!

It takes only a few minutes to walk to the Myeongdong downtown area, Lotte Department Store, LINE FRIENDS, ABC Mart and other popular stores from the hotel.
