Visiting a new country for the first time can be daunting and exciting at the same time, however, at Dojeon Media we've got you covered. We provide tips and a one-day itinerary (for those time-conscious travelers) to keep your Korea trip hassle-free! So what are you waiting for? Read on to get started on your South Korea trip! K-pop girl group NewJeans are the new ambassadors for Korea Tourism! (Skift) Everyone seems to see Korea as the world of K-pop and kimchi, and although these two things are popular here, you really must look past that. You should see Seoul as a futuristic, safe, and modern city, and the first place to explore when you visit Korea. It’s a starkly modern metropolis with a man-made river winding through its core. It makes sense to start your trip to South Korea here — flight connections are good, and the city’s scope of experiences acts as an introduction to Korean culture, with the main airport being Incheon, which is easily accessible by airport express buses and trains to the city, as well as Seoul's subway link. Tips for a first-time trip to Korea! Tips for first time visit to KOREA 🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea is a beautiful but massive city with so much to see, it’s almost impossible to decide what to do on a short trip there. I spent one year living in the capital, and I now go there regularly for work, but even I have not seen everything that Seoul has to offer. It can feel overwhelming when you first arrive but we spent the day coming up with a great itinerary to get acquainted with the city without trying to do too many things in one day, and even by taking the subway, it can feel that you have not seen everything, as there are many lines and connections. Photo: Seoul, Korea. Tommyooi Be sure to buy a subway card which can be purchased at any convenience store and topped up. You can use this on subways, and buses and even to purchase food in convenience stores throughout Korea. This will make your trip hassle-free. Throughout Seoul, many alleys connect a series of shops, boutiques, and restaurants. I have noticed in the evening there were are lines to get in some restaurants, which seems to be part of Korean restaurant culture. There are some well-known popular restaurants around here. You come, you line up, you wait for your table. I've never seen so many line-ups for restaurants in any place I have ever been. Photo: Seoul nightscape Korea - Images Of course, a must-do in Seoul and located near City Hall is a walk across the river. This is the perfect place for some tranquility, rest time, and photos in the heart of the city. So far, this city is an amazing mix of modern meets historic. It feels like a surprise everywhere. One thing we always love in big cities is when they mix in nature like this. You have nature, you have a river. It looks to be a man-made and groomed-out city. The skyline in the background makes for an exceptional city, and a mix of old and new, which for me is great. Make sure you're insured everywhere you go!

Whenever I go to a new city, I really want to spend time with the locals, local areas, and really immerse myself in the sightseeing that the city has to offer. A big part of this is the food and wandering the streets. Seoul is the perfect place for first-time travelers to Asia, as it is very safe, modern, and clean which makes it an attractive contender for 2024, not to mention the visa-free travel arrangements that Korea has hosted with several countries.

Photo: Gaytravelforyou.com The next Seoul Pride ( Seoul Queer Culture Festival ) will kick off on Saturday, June 14, 2025 , for the 26th edition, which will be themed as "We Will Never Stop" following pro-Christian groups opposition to block the pride event in 2024.

Organizers are actively seeking a new route and location for the parade to accommodate the growing number of attendees, with details to be confirmed soon.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with LGBTQIA+ organizations, learn about the community's rich history, and discover ways to get involved in the movement for equality. Image: Seoul Price 2024. Photo: Gaytravelforyou.com Social media has also been lighting up, with festival lovers commenting on the things that they are most looking forward to about this years events. Let's take a look at what pride attendees are saying; Historical Progress Since its modest beginning in 2000 with only 50 attendees, Seoul Pride has grown significantly, drawing tens of thousands of participants annually. This growth itself signifies a gradual, though often contested, shift in public attitudes and demonstrates the persistent will of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to be heard and seen. If the numbers are true and over 150,000 people attend the event then this is a massive growth which Koreans should be proud of. Fighting for rights In a country where same sex marriage is not recognized, along with same sex relationships, due a strong elderly population and Christian heritage, the conservative nation has for a long time found LGBTQ+ issues a taboo. With events like Seoul Pride, public awareness is crucial in order to assert existence in the community, and showcase identity, and to hopefully shape Korea's place in the future. Let's flash back to the 2024 highlights! After parties After the parade, the celebrations often continue in Itaewon's vibrant Homo Hill, the heart of Seoul's LGBTQ+ nightlife. Once the lights go down, the face paint and UV lights will come alive! You'll find most of the gay parties and events here. Homo Hill is just a short 5-minute walk from Itaewon Station Exit 2; simply turn right off the main street. This years event will be bigger than ever and so will the after parties! Will you be heading to this year's event?

Traveling in any city can be daunting at first, especially when you are in a foreign country, and don't speak the language. This article will focus on the do's and don'ts of traveling in the city via taxi in Korea. We give you some stress-free tips when hailing, riding, and paying for your ride! Now, like most of you have probably experienced in a foreign country before, it can be slightly daunting to hail down a taxi and communicate with the driver, as often they can only speak their native language, and it can become a stressful experience. Or perhaps you agree on a price, and then when you arrive at your destination the driver tries to charge you a higher price. Taxi Apps A MUST do before coming to Korea is to download the "Kakao Taxi app", here you are able to register a local Korean credit card, or there is the option to pay directly to the driver when you take a journey. Paying directly to the driver, you will be able to pay by credit card or cash, however as there are tiers of taxi that you can take, you will only be able to book a standard taxi (at peak times of the day, the waiting time can be longer) by paying directly to the driver. Using this app has made traveling for me much more comfortable and convenient, and you will be hard pressed to find a Korean that does not have this app. I have also found that unlike other taxi apps, like Uber & Grab, the wait time the majority of the time of Kakao Taxi's is not to long, usually just a couple of minutes, and they are also reasonably prices as well, at least compared to what I would expect to pay in a Western country, so taking a taxi in Korea has become a daily occurrence if I am visiting the city. Taxi Stands Of course it's also possible to take a taxi by going to a taxi stand, at a shopping mal, airport, bus station or train station, and in some cities you will also find a taxi stand. If you are unable to find a taxi right away, then you can look for sign posts that will give you directions, and if you are in Seoul, then you can call +82-2-120 and ask for taxi stand locations as well, so make sure you have a working phone or you are at least able to connect to WIFI to check a map. Taxi Fare Taxi fare varies by city and taxi type. Most taxis charge passengers the sum of the base fare and additional charges based on the travelled distance. Additional charges may apply depending on time and driving out of the region. Late-night fare is usually applied from 22:00 to 04:00 with the surcharge varying in amount depending on the time. The late-night fare is most expensive from 23:00 to 02:00. Pre-booking a taxi Apart from the standard taxis, there are also special international taxis that are driven by taxi drivers who can speak one or more foreign languages such as English, Japanese, or Chinese. International taxis are available in varied sizes to accommodate travelers' needs. They also offer airport pick-up service with reservations in advance. Pick-up reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance via the website, email, or phone call. Website: www.intltaxi.co.kr Reservations: reserve@intltaxi.co.kr / +82-1644-2255 Hailing a Taxi If you are out and about in the city, and decide to take a taxi, then you are able to stand by the side of the road and hail down a taxi. This is also a very convenient way, however please note that it is advisable to have the Korean address written down, unless it is a major landmark that you plan to travel to, as most taxi drivers only speak Korean. Of course, if you are able to speak Korean and like a challenge, then that is also good.
