Tell Us About Your Travel Tips for Seoul
Hack Your City is doing it Gangnam-style this week. We need your tips for visiting and living in the South Korean capital Seoul. Right now, all we really know is that this is a metropolis that has swallowed up its suburbs and neighboring cities, and that this is the birthplace of K-pop. Well, we know this dance too. Let’s start with this: is the affluent Gangnam area worth visiting and where else would you recommend?
What is underestimated? Which places in the city deserve more visitors? What are the best alternatives to tourist traps or other overpriced spots? What do you like the most about this area that would scare everyone but the most daring and discerning?
How should a visitor approach the city? How can they get along with the locals? What are the important local traditions, codes of conduct and laws? How do you describe the atmosphere to a typical western tourist?
How does it feel in the long run? What do you love and hate about the city? How do you manage your commute or lunch break? What have you learned over the years? Where do you go if you want to get out of town?
Finally, how has the city changed in recent years? Which old advice no longer applies here, and which one is new?
