Seoul Guide
Seoul is a fast, safe, transit-rich capital where palaces, mountains, design, beauty, music, markets, and late-night food coexist across distinct neighborhoods.
Best Time To Go
April through May and October through early November provide the best walking weather. Summer is humid and wet, while winter is cold but clear and less crowded.How To Plan It
Five days lets you pair palaces and historic districts with design, shopping, nightlife, markets, and a mountain or river day. Organize by neighborhood to control transit time.Where To Stay And Move
Myeongdong is central, Hongdae is youthful, and Insadong or Jongno suits history-first plans. The subway is the default, with late-night taxis after service ends.Food And Budget
Barbecue, markets, noodles, cafes, fried chicken, and late-night restaurants make food planning easy. Transit and casual meals are good value, while beauty shopping and nightlife can change the total.City Snapshot
