Sightseeing recommendations
See the following recommendations on what to do in Seoul and how to get around the city.
Apps to download
Google Maps is not very effective in Korea. We recommend Naver Map.
Uber works in Korea, but it’s also useful to download Kakao T as a backup.
Catchtable is the Resy of Korea. Use it to search trending restaurants and make reservations.
Food
The food scene is ever changing in Seoul, so the best way to find good places is through Catchtable. But below are some of our favorites:
On6.5 — fusion Korean food wine bar with various types of kimchi as the main ingredient for everything (reservation through Catchtable)
Myeongdong Gyoja — historic and iconic dumpling restaurant (walk-in only)
