Hello there, fellow wanderers! If you're looking for a luxurious, mouth-watering, and culturally rich weekend, then buckle up because Seoul is calling your name!
Kickstart your weekend on a Friday night with a delicious dinner at Jungsik, where modern Korean cuisine meets fine dining. Their tasting menu is a gastronomic adventure you won't want to miss. After, head to Love Museum in Hongdae for a playful and cheeky experience.
Saturday morning, treat yourself to a hearty breakfast at Butterfinger Pancakes, where American-style pancakes are an art form. Then, stroll around Bukchon Hanok Village, a serene neighborhood filled with traditional Korean houses. Don't forget your camera, the views are Instagram-worthy.
For lunch, dive into a bowl of bibimbap at Gogung before your afternoon spa session at Sulwhasoo Spa. Believe me, their Ginseng treatment is a game-changer.
In the evening, let your tastebuds dance at Mingles, a Michelin-starred restaurant with a knack for pairing traditional Korean flavors with modern techniques. The grand finale? The vibrant Noryangjin Fish Market for late-night snacks and Soju.
Sunday is all about art and shopping. Start with a visit to Leeum Samsung Museum to appreciate Korean art, both traditional and contemporary. For lunch, Choigozip Hongdae offers the best fried chicken in town. After, shop till you drop at Myeongdong, a shopping mecca that has something for everyone.
Before you fly out Sunday afternoon, wrap up your journey with a visit to the Namsan Seoul Tower. It's the perfect place to say goodbye (for now) to this incredible city.
