Seoul quickly became my favorite city! There are so many things to do, from visiting the palaces to sipping coffee in the prettiest cafes I’ve ever seen, stroll around the parks or hike the mountains for wow views! I did months of research and created this guide with 100+ locations for myself to explore Seoul and now I’m sharing it with you! 😍 This Map guide includes: ‌-Best places to see ( palaces, villages, buildings, libraries, museums, temples and gates, parks and hikes, cherry blossom spots & more) -Where to eat ( places I tried myself, cafes & street food markets) ‌-Shopping areas The best part? When you tap into each location you will find a Naver map link (google maps doesn’t work in Korea, so you will need to download Naver Map but most of the locations are in Korean) so you can easily get directions. I did all the hard work and searched for the locations on Naver Map, so you don’t have to. You will also find a travel guide with some useful informations at the end of the guide. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE🤯 This Map guide DOESN’T cover: -nightlife -stays NB. This is NOT a PDF but an interactive guide, don’t forget to download Thatch free app to get easier access. Any question?
