Welcome to Korea! The country of 51 million, the birthplace of Samsung, Gangnam Style and Kimchi, is where we are having our wedding. We have curated a few recommendations for you when visiting Seoul.
Bukchon Hanok Village
계동길, Seoul 110-260, South Korea, +82 2-2133-1371
A beautifully preserved village from the Chosun Dynasty that features many traditional Korean houses (called Hanok) and hosts traditional artists. Go for the quiet afternoon tea in one of these Hanoks and admire the old architecture!
Gangnam Station
Seocho 4(sa)-dong, Seoul 137-074, South Korea
Here you will see the "Oppa Gangnam Style!" statue. You will finally understand what it means to be Gangnam Style as you walk among thousands of Koreans, eating endless street food and doing Korean things.
Starfield COEX Mall
서울, 135-091, South Korea, +82 2-6002-5300
Good place to escape the winter outside! This mall is totally underground, has hundreds of restaurants, shops, movie theater, an aquarium and a 13 meter tall library.
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Sajik-ro, Seoul 110-050, South Korea, +82 2-3700-3900
Ah, the most iconic palace in Korea. This used to be the home of Korean kings over the span of a few dynasties. Pro tip: go rent a Hanbok to wear and you'll get a free entry inside!
War Memorial of Korea
Itaewon-ro, Seoul 140-021, South Korea, +82 2-709-3139
If you are interested in learning more about why there are two Koreas, dig deeper and go to the War Memorial in the heart of Seoul.
N Seoul Tower
Namsangongwon-gil, Seoul 140-022, South Korea, +82 2-3455-9277
Great place for a view of the entire city. If you are looking for some exercise, then hike up to the top (good 30 minutes).
