It\u2019s got a proper amazing mix of old and new that amazing to see. Oh, and that\u2019s without even remembering the delicious\u00a0 South Korea, food and the best things to do in Seoul that are dotted all across the city. Before visiting Seoul, I (like a lot of travellers out there) had this pre-conceived notion of Seoul being this shiny and glossy city, almost clinical, if you will. And, whilst that is true in some parts, Seoul is so much more than that! Seoul has a huge amount of history, temples and sites that you can\u2019t miss. This is the reason why I wanted to share some of the best things to do in Seoul on your next trip. It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s a short hop, a long weekend or a few weeks, hopefully, I can share some of the best things to do in Seoul.\u00a0 1.) Explore the Korea Furniture Museum So, not the first thing you think of when you think Seoul attractions, but the Korea Furniture Museum is more interesting than you\u2019d expect (so give it a chance). It\u2019s one of the best things to do in Seoul if you\u2019re interested in the culture and heritage of South Korea.&nbsp; Filled with over 2,000 pieces of traditional furniture, the museum also boasts 10 traditional Korean houses for you to get a real insight into South Korean lifestyles and culture. Just remember,&nbsp;that this part&nbsp;is accessible by reservation only so get your tickets in advance of visiting. That being said, if you\u2019re not into this type of history, you might wanna give it a miss!\u00a0 2.) Experience Bongeunsa The Temple of Bongeunsa is a surprisingly tranquil place smack in the middle of Seoul. It\u2019s the kinda place that you wouldn\u2019t even think could be so quiet in the bustling heart of Seoul. Once you\u2019re here, you\u2019ll be able to wander around the 1,400-year-old buildings that were commissioned by Yeon-hoe (the most important monk in the region).&nbsp; Located in the&nbsp;Gangnam district, pretty close to the CoEx it\u2019s a pretty impressive place to see the contrasting views of Seoul\u2019s old and new districts.&nbsp; Oh, and don\u2019t forget to see the huge stone monument that is considered to be the biggest Maitreya in all of South Korea. 3.)\u00a0Gorge in Seoul Hands down, Korean food is delicious! Korean food has a reputation around the globe and is easily up there as one of the best things to do in Seoul.&nbsp; For some yummy restaurants, head over to&nbsp;Jihwaja&nbsp;(for their classic Korean dishes),&nbsp;853&nbsp;(for a Korean BBQ) and&nbsp;Kyochon Chicken Dongdaemun 1&nbsp;(for fried chicken). Trust me when I say, Koreans take their fried chicken really seriously and this is an epic spot. It\u2019s nothing fancy at all, but the chicken is delicious. It\u2019s time to gorge!\u00a0 4.) Stroll through Myeongdong Known as one of the best shopping streets in Seoul, Myeongdong is one of the best things to do in Seoul if you want an evening of shopping, bars and food. Half the fun of visiting markets like this is not knowing what you\u2019ll find here so arrive with an open mind, an open wallet (obviously) and a penchant for a fantastic bargain. We had the best time strolling around before dinner and ended up with all manner of purchases.\u00a0 5.) Wander Bukchon Hanok Village Bukchon Hanok Village is a traditional Korean village and a great way to take a step back into time and see what South Korea would have been like centuries ago. It\u2019s easily one of the best things to do in Seoul and an area I loved. Also, you can pop into some of the houses here to see them a lot closer up (and for free too). Best yet, you can even pop into one of the local tea houses for a spot of rice tea that\u2019s made in the traditional way.&nbsp; Honestly, the tea houses are beautiful experiences to have here. If tea isn\u2019t your thing, this area is also home to quite loads of quirky shops and stalls that are all through the alleys and streets. Location-wise, this is in between\u00a0Gyeongbukgung Palace and the UNESCO World Heritage\u00a0Changdeokgung Palace so a trip here is an easy addition to your day trip to these.\u00a0 6.) Chill at Hangang Park Located along the banks of Hangang River (hence its name), Hangang&nbsp;park is another slightly different part of the city to explore. The park has an open pathway for visitors to head out&nbsp;biking or just go for a stroll in the park. A visit to the park makes for a change of pace from being in the busy city and is a great spot to chill and perhaps even indulge in a spot of people watching. This is a great place to chill out after a day exploring Seoul.\u00a0 7.) Take a boat on the Hangang River The Hangang river is lovely from its banks, but if you\u2019ve got some weary feet (after a day of exploring), hop on board one of the cruise boats that\u2019ll whisk you down the river itself.&nbsp; If you find yourself with some free time in the city, hop aboard a boat here and see the city from a totally different perspective. That being said, it\u2019s a much slower pace of exploring a city (if you\u2019re short on time).&nbsp; For another great hotel in Seoul, check into that\u2019s based near the Lotte World Tower.\u00a0 8.) Wander through Insadong Visiting Insadong is also another great way to get an insight into South Korean culture and explore one of the neighbourhoods of Seoul. Now, Insadong itself is home to shed loads of shops, pretty little teahouses and market stalls selling everything you could imagine. Also, with over 100 art galleries, you are bound&nbsp;to find a unique souvenir or two to take back home with you. Whilst here, make sure to check out the traditional clothing, papers (its a thing here), and pottery for sale in the area.&nbsp; [&hellip;]"}
