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 User2026-04-27
Overall, the DMZ (Sanba Parallel) day tour was a great experience. The itinerary was well-paced yet compact, and the convenient transportation from Seoul made it ideal for tourists wanting to delve deeper into Korean history and current events. The tour included visits to iconic sites such as the Third Tunnel, an observation deck, and Imjingak Peace Park, offering a rich and immersive experience. The guide was attentive and responsible, explaining the historical context and important information beforehand, making the entire tour easier to understand. While some sections involved walking and the Third Tunnel was a bit physically demanding, it was well worth the trip—a unique experience combining knowledge and adventure. I recommend bringing your passport and wearing comfortable shoes.

The tour with Andrew was fantastic; he even brought a telescope so we could get a closer look at North Korea. It's clear he knows his stuff. Highly recommended.

Reviews: 1-day tour to Nami Island + Petite France & Italia Village Pinocchio & Da Vinci + Gangchon rail bike in Korea
Guest User2026-06-23
It was a fantastic trip! The Gangchon Rail Bike was so much fun; pedaling and enjoying the scenery along the way was relaxing and a truly unique experience. Nami Island, Little Italy, and Little France were also delightful surprises. Special praise goes to our guide, ZERO; he planned everything perfectly and speaks fluent Chinese, Korean, and English, making the whole day a wonderful experience! The bus was spacious, allowing for timely rest stops to recharge before heading to different attractions. I never expected to experience such a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city while in Korea. I highly recommend everyone try it; there's more to Korea than just shopping.

Reviews: Nami Island + Petite France & Italian Village One Day Tour (From Seoul, English Guide)
Guest User2026-06-13
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour to Petite France, Italian Village, and Nami Island. The destinations were beautiful, well-maintained, and offered unique cultural and scenic experiences that made the trip truly memorable. Our tour guide was exceptionally accommodating, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the journey. He consistently ensured that everyone was present before moving to the next destination, provided clear instructions, and patiently answered our questions. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and attention to the group's needs made us feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Nami Island was particularly breathtaking with its picturesque tree-lined paths and relaxing atmosphere. Petite France and Italian Village were equally charming, showcasing beautiful architecture, vibrant colors, and plenty of photo opportunities. The tour was well-organized, timely, and enjoyable from start to finish. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting South Korea!
