Seoul

Seoul is known for its century-old traditional palaces, most of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, bustling markets, and unique structures. Fans of the Hallyu or the Korean Wave, also visit the city to experience firsthand Korea’s culture, from their delicious food to catchy K-pop music.

The best time to visit Seoul is during spring, between March to May, and autumn season, between September to November. Spring is when cherry blossoms in Seoul are in full bloom, while in autumn, all trees turn into gold. During these seasons, the weather is also nice and comfortable, and the hotels are at their lowest rates.

There are plenty of neighborhoods in Seoul, each with its own personality! If you prefer to stay at the heart of the city, you can head to Insadong as it is close to many major attractions. Myeongdong, on the other hand, is perfect for young tourists who want to experience modern Seoul. Lastly, you can also consider Gangnam, a stylish district dubbed as Korea’s Beverly Hills.
