Four Sides of Seoul

Seoul is known for a variety of things. There’s so much to do in Seoul, enough to spend weeks in the city alone. However, what about if you are only in Seoul for a day? What are the top ‘must-do’ things in Seoul
Try at least one stop from all of these three categories to have an awe-SEOUL experience.

• Food

  

  Korean barbecue. Kimchi. Korean fried chicken. If you come to Korea, make sure that you get the chance to properly explore the food culture. There are a lot of great restaurants around Seoul, however, I always recommend the markets. Not only do you get to experience fantastic food, but you can also experience the fast and dynamic atmosphere of the markets.
  And what would be a good meal without some coffee afterwards. Seoul has one of the most interesting and thriving cafe and coffee cultures that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. The cafes in the city can range greatly from raccoon cafes to book cafes.

• Nature

  

  People rarely visit Seoul for nature. Yet, the nature is quite fantastic. Even if you have a packed itinerary, taking some time out to enjoy nature can be a worthwhile way to spend your time. Enjoy at peaceful time at one of the many parks or at the Han river.
  If you want to include a bit excercise in your itinerary go hiking. It’s also one of the most uniquely Seoul things to do. There are a ton of mountains. Some are harder to climb than others. But all of them will reward you with stunning views of the city.

• History

  

  Korea has a vast and rich history. There is so much that has gone into forming the Korean culture and making it what it is today. If you come to Korea, or Seoul, make sure that you experience some of the culture and history. Not only because it is something that is unique to Korea, but also because if you visit, it’s important to learn something about the local culture.

• Popculture

  

  The Korean Wave (Hallyu) refers to the global popularity of South Korea’s cultural economy exporting pop culture, entertainment, music, TV dramas and movies.
  So, why don't you use the chance to visit some K-drama filming sites, get those amazin skincare products, shop the newest Korean fashion trends, or sing your favorite K-pop song at a karaoke bar.
