Seoul needs no introduction. This dynamic city is bursting with punchy flavors of the East in its many high-end and casual eateries, glittering skylines, coffeeshops, festivals and vibrant music scene (the K-Pop genre is a global phenomenon now). The city attracts crowds during the peak months but we’re in summer right now and interestingly enough, it’s actually best to visit Seoul September onwards because the weather can get a bit too hot and humid. Also, lucky for us South Korea is opening up visa-free travel for selected countries right now. So if we’re planning for September, there needs to be some must-try places on our holiday itinerary. The cool part about Seoul is that it’s got a mix of old world and new world attractions and activities. So if you’re looking for history, you will find it in the war memorials and temples but if modernity is more your thing, the technology marvels and unlimited shopping will definitely blow your mind. But what do you for fun?

If you’re not sure what to do in the city, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered in this blog post.
