💰 How far does your money go?
A filling street-food lunch in Seoul costs under €3, cheaper than a cappuccino and cornetto at a Milan bar. A full Korean BBQ dinner with drinks runs around €37 a head, similar to a proper dinner out near the Duomo. A three-course restaurant meal comes to about €43, roughly what two mains alone would cost you in central Milan.
☀️ The Weather
Seoul moves through proper autumn and early winter across these months. October still sits at a mild 19°C by day, dropping to 9°C at night. November turns crisp, with highs around 12°C and lows near 3°C. By December, the city is properly cold, highs of just 3°C and lows down to -4°C, perfect for market stalls, hot street food and heated cafés.
🏨 Where to Stay
Three ways to base yourself in Seoul.
Hotel28 Myeongdong — 9.1/10 · From €95/night Sleek and central in Myeongdong, for travellers who'd rather spend on Korean BBQ than the room.

Le Méridien Seoul Myeongdong — 9.0/10 · From €210/night A five-star base steps from Myeongdong's shopping streets, with an indoor pool and skyline views.
🎯 What to Do
Seoul runs on palaces, markets and late-night soju.
Bukchon Hanok Village — Traditional hanok houses lining hillside alleys, one of the last surviving pieces of old Seoul.
Gyeongbokgung Palace — The city's grandest royal palace, especially striking during the changing of the guard ceremony.
Gwangjang Market — Seoul's oldest market, for bindaetteok pancakes, mayak gimbap and late-night street food.
DMZ day tour — A sobering visit to the world's most heavily fortified border, unlike anything else you'll do this year.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Seoul is also the easiest launchpad into the rest of South Korea.
Busan — The country's coastal second city, reachable in around 3 hours on the KTX bullet train.
Gyeongju — Korea's ancient capital, packed with royal tombs and temples, under 2 hours away by KTX.
Jeju Island — Volcanic beaches and lava tubes, about an hour's flight from Gimpo Airport.
Autumn in Seoul does not come around cheap very often. Lock in these dates before Air China notices.
