Seoul's Hidden Gems

I spent four days alone in Seoul, exploring as much of the city as I possibly could (with much help from their public transit system), and saved all of my favorite spots to share here with you! A map of the best trendy cafes, historic palaces, unique shops, local food recs, and beauty treatments worth your dime - this Seoul guide has it all! Plus, some tips and tricks for avoiding crowds, navigating public transportation, and everything else I stumbled through upon arrival. I even have a section on exactly what beauty products to hunt for at Olive Young, their massive k-beauty store. Dive in and enjoy all the city has to offer!
