1. N Seoul Tower
Book N Seoul Tower Ticket Combos in Seoul online here
The best place to see the whole city! So romantic, but very much a couple destination. We took the stairs up to the top. It took a while but so worth it. You can book a trip that includes the Seoul tower and get there by bus. But when you don’t see and feel the same. The restaurants are nice and shops was very cute. A lot of tourist, but very clean and chill. I would recommend it!!
2. Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon One day Hanbok Rental Experience (4/24 Hrs) here
A very nice old and well-preserved area – a credit to the owners and local government. You can spend a few hours walking the streets and admiring the ancient architecture and the tourists!! – there is a lot of them. Quite a few specialty stores around the area selling lots of interesting things. Please note it is a residential area so please keep the noise down 🙂
Also, experience wearing the traditional hanbok of South Korea with the One day Hanbok rental in Seoul.
3. Gyeongbokgung Palace
It is must to visit this palace when you travel to Seoul city. This palace is very spectacular and majesty. You can see many tourists wear Korean traditional costumes that look beautiful and elegant. Besides you can find some live performances that are very interesting and worth to take your time to watch. I think you will not complete your journey in Korean without visiting here.
4. Lotte World
Book Lotte World 1 Day Pass online here
A world-class adventure park but not in the same league as the much larger Disneyland. Nonetheless, many fun rides and things to do. Adventure Island is outdoors and offers many scary/ dizzy rides. Do choose a day ( midweek) with smaller crowds and go earlier as later day/evenings the queues get even longer than our average 30 minutes!
5. Lotte World Tower
Mind blowing experience. Lotte World Tower is the tallest building in South Korea (am sure all of you are aware 😊). The view is immaculate and breath taking. After shopping for some time, I decided to visit the tower (especially the observation deck) with some of my friends and it was worth the investment. The sheer experience of standing on the glass floor gives u an Adrenalin rush.
6. Cheonggyecheon
Refreshing experience! You can walk across the water stream in the evening and see various colors across the water! The sound of water makes your mind fresh and it’s quite amazing to feel the peace of mind while walking through such a busy city!
7. Gwanghwamun Gate
Walking from the City Hall towards this destination along with your family will surely be a memorable & exciting experience. Take photos & videos & stop over the booth along the way for a 10-minute pictorial wearing the provided hanbok or traditional Korean costume all free of charge.
8. War Memorial of Korea
By far this is the best historical war museum I’ve ever been in. With a history going back nearly 2500 years, Korea had done an absolutely great job in depicting there history.
What makes even better are the timelines that also show what’s going on with the other side of the world in Europe, Africa, Middle East, and the America’s once they were discovered. The outside displays of military aircraft, tracked vehicles, and watercraft are an extra plus. Especially so nice you can climb on them.
9. Myeong-dong
Bustling Myeong-dong is a shopping area packed with international fashion brands, luxury department stores and homegrown cosmetics shops. Casual eateries offer Korean dumplings and ginseng chicken soup, while street vendors sell Japanese and Thai snacks. Shows mixing folk music and drama are staged at Myeongdong Nanta Theatre. Nearby 19th-century Myeong-dong Cathedral features a Gothic-style bell tower.
10. Hongdae street
Streets that come with food, drinks, shopping, street performance (dance and sing mostly). Very happening place all day and till late night even on Sunday night. The food is very affordable as it’s located near University area. Numbers of hotels, Airbnb to choose for tourist. Got both affordable clothes to the high quality.
