Seoul Through the Seasons: A City That Changes Its Colors

#seoulspots

Seoul is never the same city twice. Each season transforms its parks, palaces, and streets into a brand-new adventure. Here’s how to enjoy Seoul all year round without breaking the bank!



🎯 Seasonal Highlights
• 🌸 Spring (March–May) – Cherry blossoms in Yeouido Park and along the Han River make the city blush pink.
• ☀️ Summer (June–Aug) – Cool off at the Cheonggyecheon Stream or join riverside picnics with fried chicken and beer.
• 🍂 Autumn (Sept–Nov) – Fiery leaves at Namsan Park and Changdeokgung Palace are a photographer’s dream.
• ❄️ Winter (Dec–Feb) – Bundle up and enjoy lantern-lit markets and outdoor skating rinks at City Hall Plaza.



🗺️ Getting Around

🚇 The T-money card is your budget passport—works on subways, buses, and even some taxis.
🚶 Don’t rush—Seoul is best savored by strolling its side streets, especially in Insadong and Ikseon-dong.



🌟 Tips for Travelers
• 💸 Street food is king—grab tteokbokki, hotteok, and mandu for under $3 each.
• 📸 Go early to palaces for crowd-free photos and free hanbok rental spots nearby.
• 🌙 Night owls? Seoul stays awake—head to Dongdaemun Design Plaza for midnight shopping.



💬 Why Visit Seoul Anytime

Whether it’s spring blossoms, autumn leaves, or neon nights, Seoul is a city that reinvents itself with every season. Come once, and you’ll want to return just to see how it changes.
