2025 Seoul Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)
Seoul is the capital city of South Korea. The temples and palaces of this city tell a long and storied history. The magnificent natural landscape and modern skyscrapers merge together to form a city that is both young and cultured. Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces are ancient palaces, while Bukchon Hanok Village and Namsangol Hanok Village are well-preserved traditional Korean villages. Seoul is a shopping paradise. In Myeong-dong, Dongdaemun Market, Sinsa-dong, and Samcheong-dong, you can find all kinds of cutting-edge fashions, including clothing, jewelry, and make-up. Once night falls, Seoul is even more magnificent. Climb atop the YTN Seoul Tower to feast your eyes on the city's glittering nightscape. The Han River is the background of many beloved Korean soap operas. Seoul's delicious food is not to be missed. Bibimbap, kimchi, and Samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup) are all delicious in their own right.

Shengshuidong's "Three Generations of Potato and Pork Rib Soup" is available in three sizes
Potato and pork ribs soup (1 serving) ₩10,000
There are a lot of ribs, they are very fresh and cooked very soft.
The potatoes are just a supporting role, luckily there are only two or three small pieces. Because I feel very full after eating the ribs.
There are also two side dishes and cucumber and green pepper.
There is also a small dish of sauce, and the meat is eaten with the sauce, which is very delicious!

Korea🇰🇷Kyochon Chicken🌽Corn Flavor🍗💛Dongdaemun Store
Hello! ✨
New menu of Kyochon Chicken (교촌치킨), a popular fried chicken chain in Korea! ✨
Introducing the corn flavor 🌽♡
The menu we ordered is Kyochon Oksu-susunsal (교촌옥수수순살)!
In Korean, "Oksu-sus" means corn and "sunsal" means boneless meat 😊
We ordered corn-flavored boneless chicken ♩
As for the taste...
The savory flavor of corn, the sweetness of honey and butter, and the saltiness like black pepper were perfectly balanced, and it was sweet and salty and really addictively delicious 🤤🍴
Juicy boneless chicken is covered with crispy corn flakes and fried. The texture was also the best😆💥
Until now, I've only had the honey combo at Kyochon Chicken, but the corn flavor is also worth trying👏🔥
It goes great with chimaek (chicken & beer) to enjoy with beer🍗🍻
Also, the plum soda-ade soft drink was very delicious, so I recommend that too🍹🥤♡
Kyochon Oksu-sus has a slightly different taste from other fried chicken🌽
Please give it a try😆♩

[Seoul🇰🇷Sinsa] Rice balls x croissants!? Cafe🥐
Located in Sinsa, this bakery cafe specializing in croissants is marked by an eye-catching giant croissant and is sure to look great on Instagram! The cute rice ball-shaped "Oniwassan" is a specialty that can only be eaten at the Sinsa store 🥐
We went there for a snack break,
so we chose a chocolate croissant,
but next time we'd like to try side dish flavors like kimchi and mentaiko 🥰
The store has spacious seats on the second floor, so you can relax.

This hotel next to the Seoul Botanical Garden is a secret place in the city. It’s really amazing! Complete! No! lose! see!
"Courtyard by Marriott" is next to the Botanical Garden. As soon as you walk into the room, you will be stunned by the view from the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the high floor. During the day, you can overlook the greenery of Seoul city, and at night, you can see the entire night view. The bed is super comfortable, and the bathroom has heating and dry and wet separation, full of details!
The most surprising thing is its smart home system. The curtains and lights can be switched with one click. There are also plenty of sockets, which is perfect for digital travelers.
The transportation is also a plus. The hotel is only a five-minute walk from the subway station, and only one stop to Gimpo Airport, so transportation is completely stress-free. You can borrow plug converters for free, the gym is open 24 hours a day, and the night view of the bar on the rooftop is extremely romantic, making it the first choice for couples on a date!

You must eat strawberries when you come to Korea! These sweet strawberries will make you fall in love with Korea🍓
If you come to Korea, don't miss this super dessert - Korean strawberry!
In winter, strawberries are at their most delicious in Korea, especially between December and March. You can see a wide variety of strawberries in local markets, supermarkets, and roadside stalls.
The most amazing thing is that strawberries are very cheap! In Taiwan, the price of strawberries is often prohibitive, but in Korea, you can buy large, fresh strawberries at super cheap prices. For example, I once bought a box of large strawberries in a supermarket in Seoul. It only cost 12,000 Korean won (about 300 Taiwan dollars). For such sweet strawberries, it was really worth the money!
Strawberries are also very easy to buy, and you can buy them in many places, such as roadside stalls, supermarkets and even some small markets in Seoul. Many stores will display boxes of fresh strawberries. You can pick one to take away and taste the fresh sweetness on the spot. Especially near subway stations and tourist attractions, strawberry stalls can often be seen.
In short, when traveling to Korea, strawberries are definitely a delicacy you cannot miss. Whether you buy a box to try or pair it with local desserts, strawberries can bring you an incomparable wonderful experience. Next time you come to Korea, remember to try it! 🍓

Too low-key! This coffee shop in Seoul is so cozy that I almost don’t want to go home
#MarchGoodPlaces2025
There are always some places in your travels where you don’t want to leave once you sit down. Anthracite Coffee Roasters (앤트러사이트) in Mangwon-dong, Seoul is one of them.
We ordered lattes and Americanos made from Colombian and Ethiopian beans. The best part is that when you buy coffee beans here you get a cup of coffee for free, which is a great deal! 200g of beans cost ₩14,000, and a cup of coffee costs ₩6,000~₩7,000, which means you can earn a cup of coffee for every bean you buy!
The environment is really perfect, the pictures are so beautiful that they look like movies. The yard outside is also surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, making it look like a secret place in the city.
If you also love cafes with soul and stories, this one really needs to be on your must-visit list in Seoul!

Little France in Seoul! This South Korean French coffee shop is so beautiful and photogenic. Little South French Manor Coffee Shop
The store has a storytelling feel from the outside, and the interior is full of the warmth of southern France, with wooden furniture, handmade pottery, antiques, and every corner looks like a movie scene.
The main dish here is natural sourdough fermented bread, people who love hard European bread will be moved to tears! It doesn’t matter if you don’t like the hard texture, the clerk will heat it up for you and pair it with a cup of hand-brewed coffee or latte, so you can enjoy the holiday atmosphere in one second. The price is reasonable and the portion is large, the meal is enjoyable and satisfying
I recommend you to visit on a sunny afternoon. You can savor the handmade bread while enjoying the warm sunshine and wood fragrance by the window. You will not want to leave for the whole afternoon.

Korea🇰🇷Recommended Hotel🏨Hotel PJ Myeongdong✨
Hello!
If you are looking for a comfortable place to stay during your trip to Seoul,
we recommend Hotel PJ Myeongdong! 🏨
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
Hotel name: Hotel PJ Myeongdong
Address: 73-1, Inhyeon-dong 2-ga, Jung-gu, Seoul
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
Located halfway between Myeongdong and Dongdaemun, it is about a 5-minute walk from Chungmuro Station on subway lines 3 and 4 and Euljiro 4-ga Station on lines 2 and 5, making it easy to access major tourist sites✨
Three of us stayed in the modern room, and there was plenty of space to open our suitcases, and the clean interior made for a comfortable stay.
I was worried about the bath situation in Korean hotels, but there was a bathtub and a curtain, so it was stress-free 🛁✨
There was an LG Styler in the room, which can deodorize, so it's convenient to have one after going to yakiniku ^^
There was a balcony, so it was great to be able to relax in the outside breeze after taking a bath 🌬️🍻
The staff at the front desk spoke Japanese, so it was safe for beginners to overseas travel 🔰✨
There was also a WOW PASS machine in the lobby, so you can make a card immediately after checking in and exchange money, which is very convenient! 👏
There is a "CU" (convenience store) on the first floor, so you can easily go shopping, and you can buy ice cream that won't melt when you get back to your room 🍨♡
You could also use the free shuttle bus service to Myeongdong Station and Chungmuro Station 🚌
It seems that the bus from 2:00 p.m. also goes to Gwangjang Market! I've posted a photo of the timetable ^^
It was a very satisfying hotel that made my stay in Seoul even more comfortable and I want to return! 🏨
Please use this as a reference when choosing a hotel for your trip to Seoul 😊✨

Seoul | Falling in love with Shouyanshanfang: Drinking tea in the novelist's former residence was my most unforgettable afternoon in Seoul
#MarchGoodPlaces2025
If you also like slow travel, this place is really not to be missed! Suyansanbang (수연산방) is a Hanok coffee shop hidden in Seongbuk-dong. It was formerly the former residence of novelist Lee Tae-joon in the 1930s. The entire building is well preserved, and it feels like time has stopped once you step inside.
Although the price is high, the moment you put it in your mouth, you will understand why everyone is willing to visit again.
We recommend that you walk here from Exit 5 of Seoul National University Station on Subway Line 4. You can also feel the artistic atmosphere of Seongbuk-dong along the way. This is a place where you can really calm down, and it is also the most impressive stop during my trip to Seoul. If you also love literature, like Korean houses, and want to slow down, Shouyansanfang is definitely worth a visit.

Seoul | Go to Onion Anguk store! The feeling of eating bread in a Korean house is really addictive
For friends who are traveling to Seoul for the first time and plan to take the classic route of Bukchon Hanok Village or Gyeongbokgung Palace, you definitely can’t miss this popular coffee shop hidden in a Hanok - Onion Anguk Branch (어니언 안국점). This coffee brand, which became popular in Seongsu-dong and all over Korea, has created a dream space in Anguo that combines tradition and modernity. It will really make people take photos and eat non-stop, and they will be reluctant to leave!
🍞 Must-try recommendation: Pandoro powdered sugar bread
It is the star product with one on every table! It is as tall as a hill and sprinkled with thick powdered sugar, which is a double enjoyment for the eyes and taste!
📍The location is also very convenient, just near Exit 3 of Anguk Station on Subway Line 3, less than 3 minutes walk, and Bukchon and Insadong are also nearby and can be arranged together.
After eating, taking a walk in the Korean-style buildings, drinking coffee, and taking beautiful photos is really an ultimate enjoyment that combines taste and vision. This is definitely not an ordinary cafe, but a scene that will make you want to come again

2024 Grand Opening! Stay at Hotel the Botanik Sewoon Myeongdong
If you're looking for a convenient, modern accommodation in Seoul equipped with a washing machine, Hotel the Botanik Sewoon Myeongdong is definitely worth considering!
This hotel is set to open in December 2024. When I booked a stay for over a week, there were hardly any reviews in Chinese, but after my stay, I can confidently give it a five-star recommendation.
Located in Jung-gu, Seoul, the hotel is right next to Cheonggyecheon Stream. It's just a short walk to Euljiro 3-ga Station, making it super convenient to visit Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, and Gyeongbokgung Palace. I stayed in the Deluxe Family Twin Room, which, while not very spacious, is efficiently designed. The twin beds are comfortable, and the room features a balcony, a large refrigerator, a washing machine, and a clothes dryer—perfect for long stays or independent travelers!
The bathroom is a standout feature with its separate wet and dry areas. This hotel is undoubtedly one of the best value-for-money options for a trip to Seoul!

Busan|Bears are so cute! ! When it was served, I screamed instantly~ How could I bear to eat this🥺 Busan’s popular Hanok cafe Ha:nok☕️ is so beautiful✨
The biggest feature of Ha:nok is its "super atmospheric traditional Korean house architecture. Walking into it really feels like going back to ancient Korea. It is completely different from other modern internet beauty cafes in Busan."
Although the location is a bit remote, if you have arranged a day trip to Gijang or a chartered car trip, you can stop by here and sit for a while. It is definitely worth a pilgrimage!
🧡Recommendation reason
- The quaint Korean house is perfect for taking photos
- Quiet atmosphere, suitable for slowly savoring coffee and time

Seoul|Yeonnam-dong Beotkkot You can see the cherry blossoms at Sakura Cafe
The cherry blossom season is so beautiful
A local friend brought us to this cafe to see the cherry blossoms and drink coffee
This one is so popular that we couldn’t even squeeze in when we went there! However, there is a cherry blossom tree in their courtyard, and it is beautiful just to take pictures at the door.
Sisters who want to check in, be sure to set off early to have a chance to enter smoothly. This place is perfect for visiting Yeonnam-dong or Hongdae, so you can take some photos and feel the atmosphere along the way.

Reasons to stay at Dream French Hotel Seoul 1 minute walk from the subway European Palace! Once you stay here, you will want to go back again❤️
The first time I stayed at L’Escape Hotel, located next to Myeongdong in Seoul, it felt like I was walking into a European palace dream. This hotel is in a great location, less than a minute's walk from the subway station. It is right next to the bustling Myeongdong business district, making it very convenient for eating and shopping.
The room was clean and comfortable, the cleaning was meticulous, and the service staff was very kind during my stay. Every time I returned to the room, I felt a gentle feeling of being carefully cared for. Considering the location and quality, the price is really very reasonable and the CP value is super high! It is especially recommended for those who like European style, love taking photos, and want to have a quality travel memory.
If you are planning a free trip to Seoul, this hotel is definitely worth adding to your list. Whether you are a couple, a group of friends, or alone, you can stay happily and safely.

Come to Seoul and spend a day making your own facial mask!
#Indoor Activities#Cool Travel Experiences
Take the subway to Seongsu Station, Exit 3, and head to the dessert classroom next to the WHIPPED flagship store to make your own facial mask!
It is called a dessert classroom because the classroom is decorated like a kitchen, warm and cute🥰. The teacher will first do a skin test for each student and tell them the current skin condition so that they can choose a mask that they like and is suitable for them. For my mature skin, I naturally chose the grapefruit flavor which has a firming effect! The other two flavors of the day were seasonal fig and wormwood.
The whole course takes about an hour. Our teacher on that day gave three audio tracks, explaining once in English, Japanese and Chinese (because the students on site were from the UK, Singapore, Japan, Australia and Taiwan), so everyone can definitely complete their own work.
There are instant shopping discounts after class, which can be used at the flagship store next door.
If you are interested, hurry up and book a course online!
