In this free Guide I will share some of my Hotel Recommendations - places I stayed at myself, places that my community recommended to me and places that have an amazing rating or are famous among travelers! So far I only added Hotels, no Airbnbs. (maybe coming soon) The Areas I separated the list into are: ➡ Myeongdong ➡ Hongdae ➡ Gangnam ➡ Itaewon ➡ Seoul Station ➡ Dongdaemun ➡ Jamsil ➡ Yeouido ➡ Hanok Stays ➡ Templestays HOW TO SUPPORT ME FOR FREE? ♡ If you book your hotel through the links in this guide (or any other of my guides), Booking.com pays me a small reference bonus while the price is exactly the same for you! That way I can continue to give you free guides like this ♡

Being an exchange student in South Korea for over three months, I would encourage people to utilize this guidance when visiting Korea. That is one of my favorite tourist destinations. The culture, scenery, and people are all distinctive. You won't be sorry if you go. I dislike the idea of making a timed itinerary. This schedule is just intended to serve as a guide to the places you should see if you are visiting Korea for the first time. It will also not recommend eateries to you. While visiting a new area, I feel that discovering the restaurant on your own is more real. Furthermore, there are so many wonderful restaurants in Korea that it is impossible to select. This is your trip, and you have complete power over it. It is entirely up to you what you do after visiting the recommended locations.

This guide is a one-stop resource for your trip to Seoul, South Korea. From essential Korean phrases, where to stay, what to see, where to eat, and more. This isn't your typical tourist guide but my personal recommendations and trips from living and working in South Korea. I'll also set you up with some insider tips that only locals know from living in Korea.
