Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷

Seoul is bursting with energy and color—my recent trip covered everything from wild theme parks to chill green spaces and legendary shopping streets 🎉🌳 Here's where you NEED to go if you want to experience Korea’s coolest vibes:

Top Spots to Visit:

🎢 Lotte World Magic Island (240 Olympic-ro, Songpa District): An outdoor fantasy zone with crazy rides and Insta-worthy scenes. Go early for shorter queues!
🌲 Seoul Forest Park (273 Ttukseom-ro, Seongdong-gu): Open all day, every day—perfect for morning coffee walks, deer spotting, and sunset picnics.
🛍️ Hongdae Street + Hongdae Shopping Street (347-20 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu): Open 24/7, this is Seoul’s hub for street performers, indie boutiques, cosmetics, and must-try late-night snacks.
🖼️ D Museum (Seongdong-gu, Wangsimni-ro, 83-21): Modern art in a sleek space, open Mon–Thu/Sun 11–18h, Fri–Sat 11–19h. Book ahead for special exhibitions!

Tips & Hacks:
Getting Around: Use Seoul’s subway for EVERY destination; it’s cheap, English-friendly, and super clean. Pick up a T-money card at any convenience store for tap-and-go travel.
Food: Hit up street food stalls in Hongdae for tteokbokki and Korean fried chicken, or grab a picnic kit at GS25 before heading to Seoul Forest.
Cash/Card: Most places take cards, but some street vendors only accept cash—have a few ₩1000 notes handy.
Weather: Pack layers! Seoul mornings and nights can be cool even in summer.

Ready for a whirlwind Seoul adventure? Trip planning is a breeze when you start with these must-see spots.
