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/Trip Moments

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.
Reviews: Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski Resort + Eobi Ice Valley Day Tour from Seoul (With Basic Lesson and Clothes Rental)
Guest User2026-03-04
The tour at Elysian Gangchon Winter Ski Resort was fun and exciting, with friendly and helpful staff who made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a place worth visiting again.

Roy, the tour guide, is amazing. He explains things well and helps with photos. It was very interesting and informative.
Reviews: Nami Island + The Garden of Morning Calm One Day Tour (From Seoul)
Guest User2026-02-01
We had just the right amount of time for everything, so we didn't overdo it or get tired. The guide spoke good English, thanks for sharing stories and for his efforts. I arrived during the off-season, and Nami Island wasn't all that impressive, but otherwise, everything was great!
Reviews: Nami Island + Petite France & Italian Village One Day Tour (From Seoul, English Guide)
Guest User2026-02-23
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!
Reviews: South Korea Demilitarized Zone, DMZ Tour from Seoul
Guest User2026-01-29
It was truly engaging and educational. It was worth every money spent. I learnt a lot and the guide Anna and Kenny were very professional and helpful. It’s a tour I would recommend for everyone coming to South Korea.
