Things to do in Jongno-gu

My partner and I really loved this tour. the photography and history were woven together really nicely and the guides had a great sense of humor and made everything really fun! this was great considering I often feel awkward in front of a camera. but I would reccomed this tour to anyone! totally worth it!!

I enjoyed my tour very much! Mr Charlie DDA was very helpful, exclaimed and answered all my questions. I learned alot about the culture, traditions, and areas. He was very funny and helped taking my pictures. He was an amazing guide and would definitely go on another tour with him. Highly highly recommend! He's simply the BEST!!! On the other hand, I didn't like that the tour agent had canceled my original reservation due to not having enough people join and when I reserved for this one the price had increased by $20. Also the agent had not messaged me the day before to confirm, until I messaged and my confirmation text came in at almost 1 am.

Such a fun and unique experience. Lee was a fantastic teacher and made the activity fun and friendly. Highly recommend as a chance to make your own souvenir to take home as a memory

Awaresome experience on the pub crawl on Thursday in Hongdae.i did the same pub crawl last year. Our hosts were great. Visited 3 bars plus one bar that does karoke on a Thursday night. highly recommend to do a pub crawl while in Seoul

The place was really calm and peaceful while the teacher was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. There are many colorful pieces and using the different shapes made from abalone shell was really interesting.

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.

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.

joined for first time bani has been the best host and so on top of time meeting amazing people around the world I was cautious bc of the vibe but after doing it it has been amazing!!!!!! I would do this again

This was such a fun experience. Making the stamp was surprisingly easy and the the instructor spoke excellent English. Everything was explained clearly, so it was easy to follow along. I would definitely visit again the next time I'm in Seoul.
