About Seoul

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, sits along the Han River in the northern part of the country. It’s a city where contemporary skyscrapers and subway stations stand in contrast with traditional palaces, temples, and authentic street markets. Seoul has become an influential part of pop culture and is a leader in the fashion world.

There are over one hundred hostels in Seoul to choose from. They’re highly rated and distributed throughout a variety of neighbourhoods, so there’s bound to be a hostel that will blow your mind no matter what district you’d like to stay in. Seoul hostels are an ideal way to make new friends and experience the amazing city without breaking the bank. Be sure to check out the free activities offered by your hostel in Seoul and make the most of the free breakfasts!

With so many hostels to choose from, there’s one out there for any kind of traveller. Itaewon is a diverse area with numerous cafés, restaurants, and bar options and has an international feel as it was designated as a special tourist zone. Myeongdong is a large shopping district that you need to see, the streets are bustling and there are plenty of street food options! Looking for a more authentic experience? Jongno is a historic district, home to five grand palaces and traditional Korean homes.

There’s no shortage of things to do in Seoul. Of course, you need to go and see the grand palaces and historic temples, and no trip would be complete without wandering through the street markets and sampling Korean street food. To learn more about Korea’s history, check out the National Museum of Korea; and if you need a break from the city you can always head to Bukhansan National Park.

Seoul has an extensive, safe, and clean subway system that can get you essentially anywhere you need to go. The bus system is slightly more confusing for visitors but also offers over 400 routes, so there are plenty of ways for you to get where you want to go! There are two types of taxis- regular (ilban) and deluxe (mobeum). Backpackers will most likely want to take the regular taxis as they’re much more affordable. Nothing beats getting to an area and exploring it by foot, consider planning your days so that you can explore nearby districts by foot before heading back your hostel!
