💰 How far does your money go?
A full Korean meal, rice, soup and side dishes included, costs around €5 at a Gwangjang Market stall. A draught beer at a Hongdae pojangmacha runs about €3. That is under half what a single beer costs on a Stockholm terrace, where a pint is closer to €5.20 and a mid-range dinner sets you back the equivalent of €22. A proper night out in Seoul costs about what a coffee and a beer alone cost at home.
☀️ The Weather
Seoul in late October and early November sits at a crisp 11°C by day, dropping to 2°C once the sun goes down, perfect for palace walks in a jacket. Push into late November and it cools further, hovering around 8°C. By early December, daytime highs sit near 4°C with sharp, dry nights well below freezing, classic Korean winter light with none of the rain.

🎯 What to Do
A city of palaces by day and neon by night.
Gyeongbokgung Palace: Korea's grandest royal palace, with a changing of the guard ceremony worth timing your visit around.
Bukchon Hanok Village: Narrow alleyways of traditional tiled rooftops with the modern skyline rising behind them, best seen early on a weekday.
Gwangjang Market: A century-old street food market and Seoul's most authentic evening out, no reservation needed.
Han River night cruise: The city lit up from the water, departing from Yeouinaru or Banpo Hangang Park at dusk.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Seoul is also the easiest base for the rest of South Korea.
Nami Island: About 1.5 hours by train from Yongsan Station via Gapyeong, tree-lined paths made famous by Winter Sonata.
Garden of Morning Calm: Near Nami Island, known for its illuminated winter garden trails from late November.
Busan: Around 2.5 hours by KTX high-speed train, beaches, seafood markets and a completely different pace of city.
Jeju Island: A 1-hour domestic flight, volcanic coastline and hiking without leaving the country.
€359 for a country that runs from royal palaces to volcanic islands. Fares like this from Stockholm to Seoul do not sit around long.
