Things to do in Seoul

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, pulses with energy—day and night. Nestled along the Han River and surrounded by mountains, Seoul has served as the cultural and political heart of Korea for over 600 years. Today, its skyline is dotted with gleaming skyscrapers, royal palaces, and hillside temples—all coexisting in a uniquely Korean rhythm. From the royal grandeur of Gyeongbokgung to the trendsetting streets of Hongdae, Seoul attractions continue to draw global attention and reward visitors with fresh discoveries each season. Winters can be icy, while cherry blossoms and crisp air make spring and autumn perfect for exploring—Seoul weather plays a big part in setting the scene.

Reviews: DMZ Day Trip: Third Tunnel/Dora Observatory/Imjingak / Optional North Korean defector meet-up
Guest User2026-02-14
Our tour guide was Yoon from Seoul City Tour and she was very funny. It's very apparent that she's a veteran as a tour guide, with great story telling skills. The information she gave was very interesting and told in an amusing manner. The tour itself was mostly interesting, especially the first part, Imjingak, 3rd Tunnel, and Dora Observatory. However, our last stop was the Reunification Village which was more of a short (sanitary) pitstop before heading back to Seoul, where they try to sell as much merch as they can to us tourists. We were lucky with the weather that we could still see a bit of North Korea at the observatory but it's a pity that the JSA tours are suspended indefinitely. I would have liked to visit the blue building from the south side this time. We had enough time at all the stops and I didn't feel rushed (which I read about with other tours). The one thing I didn't like was that our tour guide had to beg for good reviews.

Participating in this day trip fulfilled a youthful dream. It was inspired by the drama "Winter Sonata," starring my sister EVA ("Oppa Unnie - Bae Yong-joon & Choi Ji-woo"). Back then, after the drama ended, I started planning a trip to fulfill that dream, but unfortunately, my brother was in a car accident... so I couldn't go... And I did get to experience it myself, celebrating my "birthday" with seaweed soup. Happy 43rd birthday to me!

The day tour to Alpaca World, Petit France, Little Italy, Nami Island, and the Garden of Morning Calm was a delightful experience that exceeded my expectations. Alpaca World was particularly enchanting with its friendly llamas. In Little Italy, I was impressed by the towering Pinocchio statue, the third tallest in the world, while Petit France captivated me with its charming buildings, where delightful references to The Little Prince were everywhere, adding a whimsical touch to the picturesque surroundings. Nami Island offered stunning landscapes and a serene atmosphere perfect for leisurely strolls, and the Garden of Morning Calm showcased breathtaking floral displays in a tranquil setting. Our tour guide, Yamy, was a standout, providing insightful information and adding a personal touch to the journey. Overall, a fantastic way to explore these lovely destinations in one memorable day!

Participated in a one-day trip of three attractions. Although each attraction is only 1.5 to two hours. , but the schedule is very fulfilling. Thank you to Miaomiao guide for your key recommendations and detailed explanations. We will send messages and pictures for reference before each attraction🥰. Also thanks to the 7048 driver, who parked and waited each time near the exit and entrance, allowing us to leave to another attraction as soon as possible after boarding. 🤩🤩
