💰 How far does your money go?
A set lunch in Seoul, soup, main, and a drink, costs around €8. Less than a menú del día back in Barcelona. Street food at the markets starts at €3: mung bean pancakes, spicy rice cakes, hand-rolled gimbap. A beer runs €3 to €4. You can eat and drink your way through an entire evening in Seoul for what a dinner for two would cost on Las Ramblas.
☀️ The weather in Seoul in June
Temperatures reach 27°C during the day and drop to around 17°C at night. Warm, occasionally humid, and prone to short bursts of rain as the month wears on. The rain rarely lasts long and the evenings are comfortable. Pack light layers for after dark.

Seoul has options at every level.

🎯 What to do
Seoul moves fast. Slow down and you get more out of it.
Gyeongbokgung Palace and hanbok rental - Rent Korea's traditional dress for a few hours, get free palace entry, and explore the grandest of Seoul's Joseon dynasty palaces. Better value and better photos than any guided tour.
N Seoul Tower - Cable car up Namsan Mountain. Views across the full city grid, the Han River, and the mountains beyond. Go at dusk.
Gwangjang Market - Seoul's oldest covered market. Skip the tourist-facing stalls and eat where locals eat: bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes), gimbap, and freshly made bibimbap.
Korean baseball at Jamsil Stadium - Organised chanting sections, cheerleaders, synchronized crowd routines, and stadium food unlike anything in Europe. A full evening out for under €20, and one of the most enjoyable things you can do in the city.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Seoul is one of the best bases in Asia.
Busan - South Korea's second city: beaches, a famous seafood market, and steep hillside neighbourhoods painted in murals. 2.5 hours on the KTX high-speed train.
Jeju Island - Volcanic landscapes, black lava coastline, and trails up Hallasan Mountain. 1-hour domestic flight from Seoul.
DMZ - The most surreal day trip in Asia. Peer into North Korea from the Dora Observatory and walk through a tunnel dug for an invasion that never happened. A guided tour is compulsory and worth it.
Gyeongju - The ancient capital of the Silla kingdom. Royal burial mounds, a temple carved into a mountainside, and almost no crowds. 2 hours on the KTX.
Jeonju - The birthplace of bibimbap, with the best-preserved traditional hanok village in South Korea. Under 2 hours from Seoul by train.
