Check out my Seoul travel guide and tips at this link: http://migrationology.com/2012/05/seoul-travel-guide/ – All my personal Seoul travel tips and suggestions!

Seoul, South Korea, is truly an amazing city to visit! It’s modern, easy to navigate and there’s little something everyone will enjoy. The Seoul subway system makes it easy to get around town and discover exactly what the giant city has to offer.

Surrounded by Japan and China, Seoul and South Korea sometimes doesn’t get all the attention is deserves . Korea is home to a unique culture, cuisine and a fascinating history. If you ever have the chance to visit Seoul, you’ll have a great time!

I traveled to Seoul Korea and was able to do all kinds of things, but I’ve narrowed this list down to twenty five of the best things to do in Seoul – of course there are other things as well but this list is just the beginning and intended to get your ideas and travel imagination flowing!

Anyway, on to the top Seoul attractions, here’s the list in case you can’t see the video:

1. Gyeongbukgung Palace
2. Bukchon Hanok Village
3. Jogyesa Buddhist Temple
4. Suwon’s Hwaseong Fortress
5. War Memorial and Museum
6. N Seoul Tower
7. Myeongdong Shopping
8. Insadong
9. Namdaemun Market
10. Dongdaemun
11. International Itaewon
12. Hongdae (Hongik University)
13. Lotte Mart
14. Lotte World
15. Seoul Children’s Park
16. Han River Walking / Riding
17. Walk along the Cheonggyecheon Stream
18. Hike in Seoul
19. Gwangjang Market
20. Noryangjin Fish Market
21. Garak Wholesale Food Market
22. Korean Street Food
23. Ice Cream Selections
24. Coffee at a Coffee Shop
25. Korean Barbecue

I stayed in South Korea for just over 2 weeks and was able to complete this entire list of things to do in Seoul.

However, even though there are so many places to see and go, probably my favorite of all is eating and sampling delicious Korean food! Korean food is so good and there are so many restaurants everywhere you look in Seoul that it can truly be considered a foodie’s paradise.

If you get a chance to visit Seoul I hope your’e able to do all these wonderful things while you’re there!

  1. Love the video and thanks for adding the list in the video details. Will look to do it all on our tour of Seoul! Thank you!

  2. Very good recommendations. I think you were unlucky with your coffee shop. Most coffee shops serve awesome coffee, not to mention that Seoul has more Starbucks stores per square km than any other city in the world. I'd add: Ikseondong (unlike Bukchon these are real hanoks turned hipster-friendly, perhaps too much lately); Naksan Park with the adjoining Ihwa Maeul (appear in many Korean dramas with quaint cafes and great views of the City Wall and the city); Seoul City Hall with the library and the cheapest coffee / drinks you can have in town in the cafes placed in these two buildings, one old, one new; Lotte Tower, the 5th tallest building in the word with amazing views of the city; hiking on either Bugaksan or Inwangsan for the views of the city and to experience this huge part of Koreans' leisure time; etc. Seoul is amazing!

  3. Hello! Last time trip to holiday 8th days 7th night i go to seoul n jeju, korea very good nice??. I go to visit shopping big korea very good nice??.

  4. PLEASE don’t visit this damn country. Visit Korea if you want to experience what the HELL is. It’s one of the polluted and unsafe countries.
