Thanks to K-Pop going mainstream in recent years, Seoul is quickly becoming a Mecca for fangirls all around the world. But whether you are going to Korea for the food, the K-Pop or just want to go on a short or extended holiday staying at a Seoul serviced apartment, here’s some of the important information you should be aware of.
The Four Seasons in Seoul
South Korea’s four seasons are very distinct and are celebrated with themed sweets and a complete overhaul of seasonal treats at supermarkets. If you go in Spring which is from March to May, be sure to check out the cherry blossom festivals. Summers in Seoul are hot and humid and should be avoided if possible, but Fall is perfect and falls from September to November. Winters in Seoul can be rather brutal so be well prepared if you are visiting then.
Travelling in Seoul
If you are travelling within Seoul the best way would be to take the subway. The T-money card can be used for the metro as well as the long-distance trains. Buses are great too and only a little bit expensive in comparison. For comfort, taxis are great.
Where to Stay
Seoul is small but staying centrally in areas like Myeondong, Itaewon, Insadong and Hongdae keeps you within reach of all the conveniences and sights worth visiting. If you stay in Myeongdong which is the highly recommended, consider Somerset Palace Seoul.
