18 Awesome Things to do in Seoul

18 fun things you can do when visiting Seoul, South Korea! From the best shopping districts to the cutest cafes, interesting museums and local hangout spots, this list will keep you occupied and entertained during your time in Seoul. #Seoul #SouthKorea

Seoul is the heart and Seoul of South Korea, a place of puns, and a city full of fun. Seoul’s city brand is “I Seoul U” (try saying that without an English accent). It is to represent that Seoul is a place where “You” and “I” connect and coexist.

Like its brand, the city of Seoul is all about coexistence amongst its history, modern culture, diverse nationalities and generations, skyscrapers, nature, and everything in between. As one can imagine, when it comes visiting, there is an abundance of things to do in Seoul. These are a few of my favorites:

1. Go Cosmetics Shopping

If there’s one thing to do in Seoul, it’s cosmetics shopping! South Korea is the cosmetics capital of the world. Please. Do yourself (and your skin) a favor and don’t leave this country without purchasing some skincare products or trying out some Korean beauty trends. 

Seoul has an incredible selection of every type of cosmetics store you could ever wish for. Wander around Garosu-gil or Myeong-dong for the best selection of stores and products. 

Want to know my faves? – Most of which you can buy online without even traveling to South Korea! Get a list of my favorite Korean cosmetic products here. 

2. Go Coffee Shop Hopping

Seoul is the ultimate hub for coffee shops of every shape and size. Dog café? Check. Raccoon café? Check. Poop café?…um, check? They even have a Harry Potter café where you can order a butterbeer and [attempt to] fly on a Nimbus 2000 (man, life’s a struggle when you’re a muggle).

Don’t worry, there are plenty of “tamer” options, as well. Grab your beverage of choice and the ultimate donut. Feel like a cartoon in a black and white drawing café. Or simply pop in to one of the manyInstagrammable cafés you’ll find wandering around. After your Tour de Seoul, you’ll laugh at the next Starbucks you see. These Seoul cafés are life-changing!

3. Trick Eye Museum

This perfect rainy-day activity will keep you and your friends entertained for hours. Weave through this interactive museum, stopping by each display to take a picture from a certain angle to make it look like you are part of the scene. For certain displays, you’ll be instructed to turn your picture upside-down or do something silly to make the scene look more realistic. You can even download the Trickeye app and make each display come to life!
