Gyeongbokgung is the largest fortress from the Joseon Dynasty displaying historical artifacts and architecture from the period. (If you're a culture/history junkie, this place offers soooooo much :D)
Banpo River Park is one of the more popular places along the Han River. Many Koreans love to have picnics or bike rides here.
Korea is known for their abundance of cafes, and after my many years, I have found my favorite ones to satisfy my sweet tooth and hide from the summer heat .
Suwon Fortress is about an hour south of Seoul and is personally my favorite fortress as it has blossomed into a major culture site with traditional restaurants spread out within the forts walls.
Korea is known for animal cafes, and my favorite is one known for its Meerkats, Racoons, Cats, and Wallaby's.
If you want to be a local, you have to drink like a local. Drinking culture has been quite an experience, and people interested in bar culture, I'm more than happy to show you the Korean style.
