Seoul
Nightlife that genuinely does not stop. Mountains inside the city.
Travellers come here for nightlife, food, culture and meeting people.
When to go
Aim for September, April and October. Think twice about July, August and June — the wettest stretch of the year.
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.

689 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 420 restaurants, 232 cafés and 34 bars and pubs. 90% carry no chain or brand operator.

- korean 93
- asian 13

- chinese 8
- dessert 8
3 record vegetarian options and 3 record vegan ones.

Getting there
Airports serving Seoul: ICN and GMP. Seoul is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $432 nonstop. Found 21 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
