Destination Expert for South Korea and Seoul on TripAdvisor Forums! Reddit’s r/koreatravel K-Pro!

COVID Notice: There are no restrictions on group size or business hour curfews. Masks are required by law indoors and on public transit/taxis, but masks are not required outside anywhere. Gradual changes to the indoor mask laws are anticipated in 2023, but nothing is confirmed. Many Koreans still wear a mask out of habit and following others, but it is not required in any way anywhere outside. That law was removed this summer.

Seoul is a massive, captivating city begging to be explored. Some come for the history, some come for the nightlife.  Unfortunately, as with many Asian mega cities, the language barrier makes it difficult to truly get into the city below the surface.

There’s so much good food to be had beyond the (tasty) chain restaurants with English menus. There’s so much more nightlife to be had than standing around with foreigners in Itaewon or Hongdae because they speak your language.

But how? Where?

Let me help you. With the nightlife part.
