Seoul is seriously the definition of epic contrast — sleek skyscrapers touch the sky while ancient palaces chill underneath, and peaceful temples are tucked right between buzzing city streets. You can spend hours just wandering through Bukchon Hanok Village, snapping pics along those dreamy walkways, and vibing with the wild mash-up of tradition and modern style everywhere you look.
Make sure you stop by Gyeongbokgung Palace (161 Sajik-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul — open 9am–6pm, closed Tuesdays), or Changdeokgung Palace (99 Yulgok-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul — open 9am–6:30pm, closed Mondays) for your daily dose of culture and jaw-dropping architecture! There are also tons of Insta-ready art museums all across the city for your creative fix.
As golden hour rolls in, swap busy streets for a breezy hike along Seoul's ancient city walls or grab a hillside trail like Naksan Park (41 Naksan-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul — open 24/7, free entry). The view is 🤯 — imagine the whole city glowing in sunset colors, energy low-key but still magical. Absolute must for that fresh Seoul perspective!
Pro tips:
✨ Hit the city on foot or take Seoul’s legendary subway system — easy, fast, and super convenient!
🌤️ Explore palaces and temples early for peaceful vibes and zero crowds.
🥾 Rock comfy shoes because stairs and trails are no joke.
📸 Plan sunset hikes for maximum photo ops — the city walls give major golden hour feels.
Fall in love with Seoul — the contrasts here are sooo good! #seoulspots #koreamoments #bukchonhanokvillage #cityescape #sunsetviews #templehopping #seoulvibes #travelseoul #urbanoasis
