Things to do in Seoul, South Korea

trees with temple in background during daytime

If you are someone who enjoys being active when traveling, I highly recommend climbing Seoul Tower instead of taking the cable car up! The hike can take up to 30 minutes to an hour depending on the day, but it is so worth it because you get to literally see the whole city of Seoul as you go up.

I also highly recommend taking a DMZ Tour. Not only will you get to see North Korea, but you will get to meet so many new people on this tour and learn so much about Korean history.

Everyone knows how big fashion is in South Korea, so you have to visit Starfield COEX Mall. It is the largest underground mall in Asia. You will find international and national brands here, there is also an aquarium and bunch of yummy restaurants! This mall is also known for its huge library section, it is so beautiful you'll want to be there forever!

Places to eat & drink in Seoul, South Korea

Breakfast in Seoul

Butterfinger Pancakes: You'll get the best of both worlds here. If you're a picky eater, there is a lot of western options on their menu as well as Korean options if you like to try something new!

Ddong Cafe: Considered to be a very unique cafe in Seoul, everything here is poop themed! The coffee mugs are toilet bowls, the pillows are poo shaped and you can even order poo ice cream waffles! This cafe is so much fun, and their coffee is delicious.

Lunch & Dinner in Seoul

7-Eleven: I just have to say that 7-Eleven is a whole other world in Asia, especially in South Korea. You can find anything in here! You'll find the weirdest snacks and easy meals that make it so easy for you to just pick something up and go about your day.

Wangbijib Myeongdong: If you are in South Korea, you must have Korean BBQ for dinner. I like this restaurant in particular because it is right in the city of Myeongdong and the staff here are really going to make you feel welcomed. If you're a newbie when it comes to Korean BBQ that's okay! They will literally cook the meat for you at the table if you're not comfortable doing so. This is a very comfy but luxurious restaurant where you'll be eating great food at an affordable price.
