A lot of foreigners dream to go visite South Korea or even study/live there, but where to start? Sometimes is not easy to know where to start to plan your trip , but thatโs why this guide will help you for sure๐ช๐ป
Seoul is a good destination for solo travelers , couples and families, there is a great choice of things to do for everyoneโs taste.
Iโve been 2x to South Korea and itโs still one of my favorite destination. The first time I went alone and I did a language stay for 5 weeks and the second time I went with friends for 2 weeks . The two experiences where amazing and really different. The second time I could feel I was a lot more comfortable in Seoul, because I knew how things worked and what I needed . So, it easy to explain and show a lot of things to my friends.
Everything you need to know is here.
If you read my guide , Iโm 100% sure you will feel the confidence to even go there alone . You even will have the feeling to already have been there once before.
Here is a guide to get you started to plan your trip:

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.

Seoul quickly became my favorite city! There are so many things to do, from visiting the palaces to sipping coffee in the prettiest cafes Iโve 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 Iโm sharing it with you! ๐
This Map guide includes:
โ-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)
โ-Shopping areas
The best part? When you tap into each location you will find a Naver map link (google maps doesnโt 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 donโt have to.
You will also find a travel guide with some useful informations at the end of the guide.
EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE๐คฏ
This Map guide DOESNโT cover:
-nightlife
-stays

I recommend against using Google Maps for navigation. Please use the Naver Map links for navigation. You can find the Naver Map link in the 'link' location. By using Naver Maps you will get more accurate and up-to-date navigation directions compared to Google Maps. Download Naver Maps and the Thatch App for your Trip to South Korea. This will make your travels easier so you can readily access it when you want.
