Have you ever waited for people to finish their photos to get yours?
We hardly ever do. This just was a cafe so we sat with our coffee, while people were taking turns to get photos. Then we did too, took a few seconds :D

Jeonju is one of the cute old towns in Korea. It's definitely worth your time. The easiest way to visit it is as a day trip from Seoul. KTX trains will bring you there in under 2 hours.
Alternatives you could stay overnight at one of the hanok accomodations with a mattress on the floor. Some of them even have floors heated (ours did :) )

Do you run a travel blog?
I do post on social media too, but all detailed content goes on my blog. That's nothing commercial (at least not now) but I am having a lot of fun 😊
It takes so much time, can't really update it too often. But I finally finished the posts on South Korea (was writing other things also in the meantime)
Share with me your blogs, would love to check out any new content.

Have you been to one of these 2d cafes?

They are already in a few cities, but I believe Seoul started it.

Here is the list of my absolute favorite cafes in Seoul:
Greem cafe (pictured)
Happy Bear day (check out the story)
Appiforet
Hakrim Dabang
Cafe Swith SOL

Which is the most underrated place you have recent

Which is the most underrated place you have recently visited?

I guess the fact that this palace is the least visited and almost empty contributed to my enjoyment of it the most. Oh, and it's free.

Gyeonghuigung is smallest of the five palaces in the city. It was constructed in the 17th century to serve as a secondary palace for the king to move to in case of need. What you currently see, is only about a third of the former palace and reconstructed in the 1990s.

I personally really enjoyed this palace. We visited exactly at 9am at the time it opened and only saw two groups of people while wandering around the grounds. I happily wondered at the completely empty areas. It was dreamy.

Do you enjoy fountain shows?

Banpo bridge is a double decker bridge in the middle of the city. Here you will find a 570 meter long fountain with 200 LED lights. The fountain is in the Guinness Book as the longest fountain bridge in the world. It’s best viewed from the south side, where the park is located and where evenings are very busy.

The area is lovely with green spaces and very popular for the locals to meet in the evening. You can walk around here, pop into one of the cafes (around here they have lovely views), like Starbuck floating cafe or just relax on the green before the fountain show begins.

You can experience the Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain every day from April 1 to 30 October at noon and evening times. The show lasts for 20 minutes.

We came for the 19.30 show. The area was very crowded before the showtime. Btw, I expected it to be on both sides, as I read before, however, on the day we visited that wasn’t the case. It happened on the right-hand side of Hangang park. Anyways, you can have a look at which side people gather and follow their lead. But if you are on the wrong side, you can switch the side in a couple of minutes, so it’s no big deal.

I enjoyed the show. You will be listening to several Korean songs – it was mainly K-pop, while watching the dancing lights on the water. It was a lot of fun.

Gyeongbokgung – the name means palace blessed b

Gyeongbokgung – the name means palace blessed by heaven. This palace is on almost every itinerary of tourists visiting South Korea and for a reason. First of all, it’s the oldest and grandest of Seoul Palaces. Plus, you can catch Changing of the guards ceremony here.

Price: 3000 won, free over 65 and a discount for juniors

Admission times: every day, except Tuesdays 9am-6pm

Tickets

Once you enter the Gwanghamun gate, you can buy the tickets on the right hand side. If you are visiting other palaces as well, you may consider buying the Royal Palace pass, which includes admission to 4 palaces and Jongmyo shrine. The pass costs 10000 won, so it’s definitely worth it even if you are only visiting Gyeongbokgung (3k won), Changdeokgung (3k won) and its Secret garden (5k won). The pass lasts for 3 months, so it’s definitely worth it.

Keep in mind that as with other palaces, admission here is free if you wear a hanbok.

Free Tours

If you like tours, you have an option to join free guided tours of the palace at 11:00, 13:30 or 15:30. You just have to show up and join the tour. However, it’s first-come first-served, so be there somewhat earlier to make sure you can join.

Changing of the Guards ceremony

Do come to buy your tickets before 10am to catch the Changing of the Guards ceremony (the reenactment happens every day, except Tuesdays, twice a day at 10am and 2pm). It is happening at the courtyard, where the ticket booth is, before you show your ticket to enter the palace, however tons of people come for this ceremony, so to avoid queues and find your spot, be a little earlier. Keep in mind that you can watch the ceremony without buying the palace ticket.
