Seoul, South Korea - Photo Guide

I went to Seoul for three days as a "layover" to Japan from Europe, to me it was enough time although must guide tell you to spend at least 4-5 days that way you can also day trip to Nami Island for example, Bukhansan National Park, the DMZ, or go to one of the many theme parks.

Important: Download the app Naver App because google maps doesn't work in Korea. Most locals don't speak english either. Buy a sim card at the airport or an online sim card if you want internet constantly.

Tip: Buy skin care products there!

Tip: Choose well where you eat, the food markets are always great but fo example I simply walked into some places and was fed what seemes to be broth and piece of fat, same with the korean bbq.

Tip: to call a taxi/ride use Kakao T app
