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

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 was very satisfied with the trip. The itinerary was well-planned and not tiring. I liked every attraction. The tour guide was a handsome young Korean man in his thirties. He explained things very well and spoke interesting Chinese.

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