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/Includes Meeting with North Korean Defectors
Guest User2026-08-06
This trip offered both cultural and natural value, allowing participants to appreciate rich history while enjoying stunning scenery. Our guide, Jean, a native Korean, spoke fluent and authentic Mandarin and was incredibly warm and attentive, providing detailed explanations of the rich historical background throughout the journey. The accompanying driver was also very friendly. The entire trip was fulfilling and highly satisfying.
Reviews: Korea | Nami Island + Alpaca World + Gangchon Rail Bike Day Tour | Shared Tour or Private Car Option | From Seoul | Professional English/Chinese/Japanese Guide
Guest User2026-08-07
This full-day excursion is perfect for families with children and solo travelers alike. Alpaca World has a special place in my heart. Besides the adorable alpacas, you can also see rabbits, ponies, fennec foxes, capybaras, eagles, and more. A Rail Bike ride reveals the incredible beauty of the local nature, and Nami Island is a photo op (it's so beautiful!). I'd like to thank our guide, Alex, for organizing the excursion so well. Alex was with us every step of the way, keeping us informed, helpful, and attentive to every member of the group. I'm thinking of taking this excursion again, but this time during the autumn season, to admire the autumn colors on Nami Island.

I thoroughly enjoyed this local tour. Although it rained all day, our guide, Alex, was incredibly thoughtful and attentive to every member of the group. The pace was comfortable and relaxed, and he actively shared local culture and photo spots, making the trip truly enjoyable. He was friendly, attentive, and handsome, which added to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this tour.
Reviews: Lotte World Adventure+Lotte World Aquarium1-day Tour
Guest User2026-06-01
The Lotte world adventure + Lotte world aquarium package was really worth it. A big plus was our very helpful guide Dennis. His passion, dedication and knowledge helped make the experience meaningful and seamless. Wish we could have stayed longer. One day wasn't enough yo fully enjoy all the rides and attractions.
Reviews: South Korea Incheon Fun one-day tour[A-1] (Departs every Mon, Wed, Fri) Luge+Railbike+Feeding seagulls+Wolmido+Fairy Tale Village+China Town +Sinpo International Market
Guest User2026-05-26
The slide ride is fun and enjoyable; it's recommended to bring gloves for better comfort. Chinatown feels more like a traditional shopping district, with shops lacking distinct character. The seagull feeding tour on Wolmi Island is well worth the experience, especially the unique way the tour bus drives directly onto the boat. The rail bike route offers beautiful scenery, but it's a bit strenuous, and the seats are non-adjustable, which might be inconvenient for shorter people. Riding with four people makes it much easier.

Excellent tour with lots of background information from the tour guide. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity to take photos towards North Carolina.
