💰 How far does your money go?
A full sit-down meal in Seoul costs around €7. Korean BBQ for two, drinks included, rarely tops €20. A street food snack from a market stall goes for under €1. That's less than the price of a coffee sitting down in Rome. If you eat the way locals eat, which you should, you can feed yourself well on €25 a day.
☀️ The weather
July sits at the edge of Seoul's monsoon season, so expect heat, humidity and occasional bursts of heavy rain. Temperatures hover between 27°C and 32°C. Evenings stay warm and the rain rarely lasts long, but it's worth packing light layers and a small umbrella. By mid-July the worst of the rain is usually past.

From Myeongdong's shopping streets to the upscale calm of Gangnam, Seoul covers a lot of ground.

🎯 What to do
Seoul is a city that rewards curiosity.
Gyeongbokgung Palace · Korea's oldest Joseon-dynasty palace, built in 1395. Rent a hanbok at the gate and walk in dressed the part.
Bukchon Hanok Village · Hundreds of traditional wooden hanok houses spread across a hillside, many now home to tearooms and galleries. The best views of the city are up here.
Gwangjang Market · Seoul's oldest covered market, with one of the best street food spreads in Asia. Try the bindaetteok: mung bean pancakes fried on the spot.
Cheonggyecheon stream · A restored waterway cutting through the city centre, perfect for a slow walk in the evening. Where locals come to decompress.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Seoul is a strong base. The rest of South Korea is very easy to reach.
Busan · Korea's second city, with beaches, temples and the best fish market in the country. 2.5 hours by KTX high-speed train.
Jeju Island · A volcanic island with dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches and serious hiking. One hour by domestic flight from Seoul.
Gyeongju · Korea's ancient capital, with UNESCO-listed temples and burial mounds, and a much quieter pace. Under 2 hours from Busan.
Jeonju · The food capital of Korea, famous for bibimbap and a vast traditional hanok village. 1.5 hours from Seoul by KTX.
DMZ · The demilitarized zone on the North-South Korea border. Strange, sobering, and unlike anything else. An easy day trip from Seoul.
