5.0 out of 5 stars Great comprehensive Seoul guide

D.A. · March 4, 2024

The over 250 pages seems to cover everything a tourist and even locals may want to know. Beside useful visiting tips in the first sections, the Explore Seoul section by districts is just great. It also provides detailed maps for every district, plenty of suggestions on what to do and useful information on how to get around. I specially like the neighborhood walking tours. By providing as well information for day trips from Seoul, one can easily spend 2 weeks without running out of places to visit and things to to do options.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little reference for South Korea solo travel

A.C. · October 25, 2023

Loved perusing the contained information on Korea sights and travel in Seoul. However, just spent 11 days there on tour, travelling this country on your own will take some thought and planning. It is a great little reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for finding out where you want to go; maps are great

U. · May 18, 2022

I took this updated guide to Seoul this month and found it was a great reference for identifying places I wanted to visit. The maps are fantastic. I'd recommend this guide in tandem with one of the Korean apps for navigating the subway/transit system (such as kakao maps). The historical and cultural information was helpful too - it wasn't super detailed, but just right to provide a little background info (I learned more at individual sites) and still keep the book small enough to carry with me. As of May 2022, the Covid situation continues to change rapidly. People I encountered in public (on the subway or at points of interest) were generally very helpful and had up-to-date info about attractions or services that were still closed due to Covid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource!

J.B. · December 29, 2023

Just the right size to travel with

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs full subway map

A.C. · September 6, 2023

I bought this book primarily for the map. I wanted a backup just in case something happened to my phone. However, there is only a partial map of the subway, and even the part that is there is missing one of the routes. The book was kind of fun to flip through, but ultimately not worth space in the suitcase.

A great book

Excelente contenido

Z.P. · October 6, 2022

Es una guía muy completa y actual con mucha y buena información para viajar a Seúl sin embargo sí lo que estás buscando es contenido visual, es decir fotos, carece mucho de ellas. Si lo hubiese sabido quizás no la hubiera comprado

Nella terra del kpop

E. · March 12, 2024

Usata per organizzare il mio viaggio a Seoul. Ottimo punto di partenza da integrare con ciò che più interessa e le ultime tendenze della città!Consiglio sia la guida che la Corea del sud come meta per il prossimo viaggio!

Excellent book for Seoul

K.K. · April 25, 2025

Excellent detailed book used it while in Seoul and you absolutely brilliant

Para nada actualizada

B. · September 4, 2022

Al igual que con la guía general de Korea Lonely Planet, dicen que está actualizada, pero luego vas allí y hay sitios que hace años que están cerrados, precios no coincide ni uno (pero ni por aproximación...). Recomendable para echarle un ojo, pero luego tienes que revisar toda la info en internet para no presentarte a un sitio y que ni exista.
