Experience Seoul like a local — a hidden healing space where royal tombs meet everyday city life. In the middle of Seoul’s busy business district, Seonjeongneung offers a different side of the city. Here, locals take a quiet walk beside the royal tombs of kings and queens — a hidden healing space where you can truly feel the rhythm of everyday Seoul life.
Samseongdong / COEX
Experience Seoul like a local — where K-pop energy and everyday city life come together at COEX. COEX is where modern Seoul truly comes alive. At the plaza, you’ll find the iconic Gangnam Style hand statue — a fun K-pop hotspot where locals and visitors strike the famous pose. Inside, the stunning Starfield Library rises with towering bookshelves, creating one of the most photogenic spaces in the city. From everyday hangouts to global trends, COEX is the perfect place to experience Seoul’s vibrant urban lifestyle up close. We’ll also enjoy lunch here, where you can choose from a wide range of food options — I’ll happily recommend local favorites or guide you to anything you’d like to try.
Seongsu-dong
Seongsu-dong Street — where Seoul’s industrial past meets its trendiest present. Seongsu-dong Street tells the story of Seoul’s transformation. What was once a neighborhood of handmade shoe workshops is now a hotspot packed with trendy cafes, stylish boutiques, and leading Korean fashion brands like Musinsa and 29CM. It’s where Seoul’s young generation gathers — a vibrant place where creativity, culture, and everyday life collide.
Seoul Forest — Seoul’s answer to Central Park, a green escape in the heart of the city. Seoul Forest is one of the largest public parks in Seoul, inspired by New York’s Central Park. Surrounded by the city, it offers a peaceful retreat where locals come to relax and unwind. Take a break from your journey, walk through the forest, and experience the calm side of modern Seoul.
Seokchon Lake — a scenic night walk with Seoul’s iconic skyline and local vibes. At night, Seokchon Lake transforms into a beautiful walking path surrounded by the glowing skyline of Lotte World Tower and Magic Island. Enjoy a calm stroll with one of Seoul’s most iconic views, or choose to explore the tower up close if you prefer. We’ll end the experience at a lively local food street, where you can taste what Seoul locals truly enjoy.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
