We booked the Namsan Cable Car and N Seoul Tower Observatory on the same day and received our confirmation within minutes. Ticket pick-up was also easy, with clear instructions provided. There was a little queue for the elevator going to the cable car, but it was still tolerable. The N Seoul Tower Observatory was definitely worth it—we really appreciated the beautiful view of Seoul!

Such a worthwhile experience! I had a skin test with the pharmacist, and she was so kind and thorough throughout the whole process. She carefully analyzed my skin and recommended products that were actually suitable for my skin type. I had so many questions because I’ve been concerned about my skin for a long time, but she patiently answered every single one. I finally got a better understanding of my skin and was able to clear up many of the concerns I had. If you’re visiting Korea, I definitely recommend giving this a try! The products in the store are also reasonably priced, and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was such a pleasant and helpful experience. I’m really glad I stopped by!

Dongdaemun Sparex is the best! It's affordable, clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location is also incredibly easy to find. Dongdaemun Design Plaza is right across the street. You can easily find it by taking the elevator down to the third basement floor of the building. They don't provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or scrubbing towels, so it's a good idea to bring your own. If you forget, they sell them at the entrance, which is convenient. For women, mugwort steaming is highly recommended! It costs 2,000 yen. It feels incredibly good and makes you sweat a lot. After that, getting a body scrub is the best! On the fourth basement floor, there's also a food court, a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), and a relaxation area where you can unwind. Going in the morning is recommended as it's less crowded.

it was my mom’s favorite part of our trip. we rode the music cruise and watched the rainbow fountain show over the song, I See The Light. it was a very nice and memorable moment. you’d want to sit at the side facing the port since it’s favorable for the best view. you can sign up early and chill and eat at the park while waiting.

We had such a great experience renting our hanboks here! The entire process did take a little while, but that was completely understandable since we had four people getting dressed, including a child, and it was also pretty busy when we visited. Everyone working there was so kind, patient, and helpful throughout the whole experience. They also spoke English well enough that we had no trouble communicating, which made everything much easier. We absolutely loved wearing our hanboks and had such a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to rent a hanbok while visiting Seoul! 🇰🇷

An absolute favorite was the 63 Sky Picnic experience! Located at the top of one of Seoul's most iconic skyscrapers, this spot offers simply breathtaking panoramic views of the Han River and the city. The "picnic in the clouds" concept is original, very well thought out, and perfect for relaxing after a day of walking. Special mention to the welcoming staff and the warm atmosphere at the venue. It's the ideal activity to do as a couple or with friends, especially in the late afternoon to admire the sunset and the city illuminations. Booking via Klook was fast and seamless, and the pass with the QR code at the entrance saved us precious time. I highly recommend this activity to anyone looking for a memorable outing in Seoul!

You can pick up your Discover Seoul Pass at Incheon Airport Terminal 2 (T2) on the third floor, at a store with a blue sign that says "TRAVEL MATE & BOOK STORE." This store is very close to the tax refund kiosks, Shake Shack, and Paris Baguette bakery. You can use these landmarks and store signs to find it. Once you enter the "TRAVEL MATE & BOOK STORE," you'll see a counter on the right-hand side near the entrance, but that's not the one. You need to walk to a very small counter on the left-hand side in the middle of the store. Give the QR code to the staff, and they will give you your Discover Seoul Pass. This time, I bought the 24-hour pass. On the first day, I went to the COEX Aquarium in the afternoon and N Seoul Tower in the evening. On the second day, I spent the entire day at Lotte World. It was very cost-effective, and I highly recommend purchasing it.
