Seoul is a city where you can enjoy the modern and historic at the same time. You’ll love the fact that it’s a city that has everything and you can travel just about anywhere in Seoul on a subway or a cab. Also, Seoul is one of the safest cities in the world!
 



1. N Seoul Tower

N Seoul Tower is one of the most famous landmarks in Seoul. It is located on the top of Namsan Mountain, so you can enjoy the panoramic view of the city. To go to the top, you can hike or take the Namsan Cable Car. If you plan to hike up, I would like to recommend it in the fall because you can enjoy colorful leaves. On the top, there are a lot of love locks along all the towers and there is Hello Kitty house! If you want to spend a romantic night, you can have a fancy dinner at the top of the tower.
 

2. Seoul Children’s Grand Park

The Seoul Children’s Park is one of the largest parks in Seoul and has a long history. This park has been opened in 1973 with an amusement park, zoo, botanical garden, children's museum, and sports center. Summer is the best season to visit and the children's museum is popular for kids. This place is accessible via subway and you can get off at Children's Grand Park station on line 7.

5. Kidzania

KidZania is a work-experience theme park where kids can try working in real-life jobs, allowing them to understand what it's like to be an adult. It’s fun and educational for kids as they can try different jobs like baker to a k-pop singer guided by the teacher in each of the office. It’s good for the parents as they don’t have to look after them while they are taking those classes.
