Things To Do
Ikseon-dong
Ikseon-dong is one of Seoul’s most charming neighborhoods, filled with historic alleyways, trendy cafés, cocktail bars, and amazing restaurants. This is where our afterparty will be held and it's just a short walk from many of our recommended hotels. The area comes alive at night, making it the perfect place to eat, drink, and explore Seoul.
Gwangjang Market
One of the best places to try all types of Korean Street Foods! If you arrive early, Ricky & Lyn are coordinating a group visit on October 8, 2026 (Thursday) for all everyone. Please reach out or refresh this website for updates on time and meeting location.
Namdaemun Market
Another Amazing food market. Please visit Gamekol Son Wangmandu for amazing dumplings! MUST TRY Kimichi dumpling and the noodles.
Myeong-dong
Biggest shopping town you can buy clothes or cosmetics! - Girls, Oliveyoung is the most popular cosmetic shop you can buy. It's everywhere in Seoul so please check that store! - Girls & Guys, there are Adidas and New balance stores in Myeongdong having Korean limited edition clothes (T shirts & Hoodies)
Yeouido Hangang Park
This park is a good place to get away from the crowds and bustle of Seoul. The cycling trails (bikes are available for rent) are popular as are the swan boat rides. And the views of the Han river and city are stunning. You can order food there (using Baemin) OR even drink! Easiest option is get food / drinks from nearest convenience store, which are super popular :)
Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon Hanok Village is a residential neighborhood in Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea. It has many restored traditional Korean houses, called hanok. This has made it a popular tourist destination. * Recommendation * - There is "E Chae Cafe" near exit 2 from An-guk station. We loved coffee and dessert there! - There's a amazing matcha tea house called "Osulloc Tea House Bukchon," thats worth the visit alone!
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace is the grandest of Seoul's "Five Grand Palaces" and the first royal palace established in 1395. You need to pay an admission fee to enter. One of the most popular things to do here is to rent Hanbok (traditional korean outfit) and take photos and view the changing of the guard. *Recommendation* - If you are looking to have a drink near there, there is "Cobbler" Hanok bar!
Gwanghwamun Square
At the center of Gwanghwamun Square stands the statues of King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sunshin. King Sejong the Great is the fourth and most respected king of the Joseon Dynasty and creator of Hangeul (Korea's alphabet). Admiral Yi Sun-shin is a naval commander noted for his victories against the Japanese navy during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598) and a hero among Koreans. We highly recommend to walk down more after and then you can walk through Cheonggyecheon, which is super pretty! * Route would be after Gyeongbokgung Palace > Gwanghwamun Square > Cheonggaechen.
Itaewon-dong
Itaewon is Seoul’s vibrant nightlife capital, where neon-lit alleys are packed with everything from sophisticated jazz lounges to high-energy rooftop bars. It’s the ultimate spot to grab a cocktail, enjoy stunning views of the N Seoul Tower, and experience the city's most diverse and spirited party scene
Hongdae Playground
Hongdae is a popular hang-out for local youths and a must-visit for many foreign tourists to Seoul, South Korea. * Recommendation * - There is a "Thursday party" bar in Hongdae! I used to go there a lot :) when I was living in Korea. You can do beerpong and pretty cheap there! Lots of foreigner you can meet.
Gangnam District
Everyone knows Gangnam! You can do everything there (shopping, eating, drinking, and get some Korean skin care (laser, massages, botox...) Don't miss out chances to be in Korea :)
