Seoul’s vibrant city life can get a little too hectic sometimes. If ever you’re craving for a peaceful getaway, we suggest taking a romantic day trip to Nami Island with your partner! Walk along the tree-lined streets, have a picnic by the river, or even recreate some of your favorite K-Dramas while you’re in the island!

If you’re a fan of the Winter Sonata, you can snap a pose by a statue of the drama’s main characters, too! Whatever the weather, a visit to Nami Island is always a good idea.

Located nearby Nami Island is Petit France, a tiny theme park modeled after The Little Prince. It is reminiscent of Alsace, a French province that boasts storybook-like neighborhoods and features. This attraction is romantic in every way and is a great place to visit with your special someone for a quick snack or some coffee.

This picturesque side of town is also a great place to explore on foot – you’ll be surprised to see how much is packed into this small area!

Stroll through one of Seoul’s most historical quarters – the Bukchon Hanok Village! This area is one of the very few preserved neighborhoods from the Joseon Dynasty and previously housed high-ranking government officials.

Today, the uphill village is filled with artisanal boutiques, traditional tea cafes, restaurants, and other quirky attractions that are hidden within the village. As it is well preserved, the exterior of each home is identical to those around it, making it quite difficult to find your way around the area.

See Seoul from a whole new perspective – from a 500m elevation at the Namsan Tower! From the second highest point in the city, you’re bound to get unparalleled views that are both stunning in the day and night! If you’ve brought along the kids, or the kid inside you, check out the Hello Kitty Island and the SSentoy Museum and Showroom located inside the tower for some extra fun!

The attraction is also known for its love locks and as you walk around the Namsan Tower area, you will notice an endless amount of colored locks. If you’re visiting with your significant other, we suggest declaring your undying love by taking part in this tradition! It’s a fun little activity that you can always look back on.

Klook Tip: If you can bring your own lock and marker – do so! The locks in the area are quite expensive.

Brace yourselves for a shopping experience like no other! No trip to Seoul is complete without a trip to Myeongdong – Seoul’s number one shopping area! Multiple streets are lined with beauty cafes, restaurants, local and international clothing stores that will leave you in a frenzy!

If you’ve been eyeing a certain K-Pop merchandise or K-Beauty products for a while, you’re sure to find several stores in Myeongdong that sell them!

A trip to Seoul is incomplete if you don’t munch some of their delicious, and sometimes crazy, street-food! Once you’ve worked up an appetite, skip a fancy restaurant dinner and eat your way through Myeongdong! Most especially at night, the food carts roll in the streets of this shopping district and tempt you with the spicy tteokbokki or the crispy tornado potatoes! Don’t know what to get? Check out our Korean Food Guide for some suggestions!

Ever wondered what it’s like to live like a king or queen? Well at Myeongdong-Jeong, you’ll be able to dine like one. Make sure you’ve made some space for a hearty meal because you’ll be devouring a full course Korean meal with over 12 side dishes! You’ll get to try the Vegetable Pancake, Pork Wraps, and other traditional dishes all in the comfort of your own private dining room! Sarap!

If there’s one thing you should do in Seoul – it’s K-BBQ. Foodie or not, this experience is unlike any other and is a staple in Korean culture. Unlike normal restaurants, you’re expected to cook your own food at a K-BBQ restaurant. Aside from the meat you get to choose, you’ll be served an unlimited amount of side dishes to complement your meals!

We suggest pairing your K-BBQ meals with a bottle of Soju to complete this Korean experience! One of our favorite Seoul K-BBQ restaurants is Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong, which is located in Myeongdong.
