To us, the capital of South Korea kiiiind of feels like the capital of the world. Brimming with karaoke bars, fantastic museums and insanely good food, this city is the kind of place you'll never be bored.
Take a hike on the oh-so beautiful Bukhansan mountain and be prepared for some beautiful views. This national park right outside of the city is perfect for a day trip filled with hiking, mountain climbing, and some fresh air.
Get your steps in on the Cheonggyesan Mountain! With many well-maintained trails this is a perfect hike to see dense forests, valleys, and temples. If you are visiting in April or May you are in luck - the pink and yellow spring flowers bloom along the paths so enjoy while you walk.
The Gangnam district thrives during nighttime. Neon signs, skyscrapers and stylish brands light up the district's never-ending nightlife and vibrant energy. Stroll around this modern and hip area to shop and have lunch and later at night, dance around the neighbourhood, from one soju bar to the other.
Within the Hyundai Department store is the largest indoor garden in Korea. If you sadly cannot make it to one of the beautiful mountains around Seoul, you can hear and feel the echoes of the forest inside to get your fix of nature.
