Things to do in Seoul, South Korea: The Best Traveler Resources

April 26, 2022 Stefan Strunk

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Tourist Information Center of Korea Tourism Organization

Reviewed By Travelove58

This centre occupies the 2nd to 5th floor- within an office building complex. The tourists information centre is on the 2nd floor, with a small cafe within. Every floor has a different aspect showcasing rich Korean cultures ie Korean cuisines, history, cultures, etc. On the 5th Cultural products promo centre, visitors used free coupons to put on hanbok & take pictures. Also another sector to try out making a personalised character strap or magnet. However, the staff at both the hanbok & especially the handicraft sections( 2 young girls) are not very friendly. Makes us feel unwelcome with their cold attitudes! Seems like they don't like foreign tourists - an irony as to why this place is set up for ie to promote understanding of Korean cultures to foreigners/tourists. They are not warm nor helpful when you ask something. But the lady on the information counter on 3rd floor Culinary culture exhibition section was the extreme opposite. Very warm, friendly, helpful & always smile when see guests. She gave us the free coupons for 5th floor events without us even asking. So was the guy on the 2nd floor information counter ( English). Definitely we would recommend s trip here if in Seoul.
