All about Seoul
When to Visit
Seoul is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November). Spring offers cherry blossoms and pleasant temperatures, while autumn showcases vibrant foliage and cool weather. Summers (July to August) are hot and humid, with occasional rains, but great for enjoying festivals. Winter (December to February) brings chilly temperatures and festive decorations, ideal for exploring Seoul’s winter markets and nearby ski resorts.
Getting Around
Seoul boasts a world-class public transport system, including an extensive subway network, buses, and taxis. The T-money card is a convenient way to pay for public transport and can be used in stores. Walking is also enjoyable in pedestrian-friendly areas like Insadong and Itaewon. For a scenic view of the city, consider taking a river cruise on the Han River. Rideshare apps and taxis are available for shorter distances.
Traveler Tips
Learn a few basic Korean phrases for a more immersive experience, though English is commonly understood in tourist areas. Use public transport to save time and money, and carry a T-money card. Try local dishes like bibimbap, Korean BBQ, and street foods like tteokbokki. Seoul is a shopping paradise, so bring extra luggage for souvenirs. Visit popular attractions early to avoid crowds and don’t miss a traditional performance or a night view from Namsan Tower.
