With more than 25 million people, Seoul is the second largest metropolitan in the world. It accounts for half of the population of the entire country, so we understand that first-time visitors could find it a bit overwhelming (even with a map!). That said, we don't want you to miss out on what Seoul has to offer! Don't just stick to the tourist traps; trust us, Seoul has a lot of hidden gems. Avoid getting lost by downloading Subway Korea (available on the App Store and Google Play) before your trip.
