Thriving Solo: A Traveler's Guide to Seoul, South Korea

Seoul is a fantastic city for solo travel. It’s incredibly safe, and the public transportation system is one of the best in the world. Get a T-money card to easily hop on subways and buses. Explore the historic palaces like Gyeongbokgung, wander through the trendy streets of Hongdae, and indulge in the amazing street food at Gwangjang Market. Don’t be afraid to eat alone – many Korean restaurants are set up for single diners, especially for dishes like Korean BBQ. For a unique experience, stay in a traditional “hanok” guesthouse in the Bukchon Hanok Village.
