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: Best DMZ Tour Korea from Seoul (Suspension Bridge & JSA Museum)
Guest User2026-02-21
The experience is a must if you visit Seoul, very close to the city, so it’s convenient to book a local tour and get all the information. Only downside is the fact that you don’t know which attractions are you going to be able to see until the date since entrance can vary due to external circumstances.

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!
