Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Seoul moves fast and looks great doing it — royal palaces one street, neon shopping the next, and food everywhere.
The mix
Grand Gyeongbokgung and the tiled roofs of Bukchon, the views from N Seoul Tower, and the buzz of Hongdae and Gangnam.
Good to know
Grab a T-money card for the excellent metro, come with an appetite for Korean BBQ, and pack layers — the seasons here don't do halfway.
