Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is one of the most exciting megacities in Asia. The city is host to multiple tourist attractions and a must-visit place in bucket list of solo women travelers!

While there are numerous articles out there describing the things do in Seoul or the tourist hotspots, there are hardly any which cater to solo women travelers. We will try our best to give you a complete guide of the city if you are a woman traveling solo in this beautiful city.

Few Tips for Solo Women Travelers in Seoul

South Korea is generally a safe country for travel. And the locals are quite helpful and friendly to visitors.

  • Although it is a safe city, it’s always a good idea to remain cautious and alert.
  • You will face a language barrier so it’s a smart choice to always have a language or translation app in hand.
  • Seoul is the fashion capital so make you sure dress up and join the style party!
  • Most of the city is connected over Wi-Fi, but it is a good option to get a local SIM so that you are always connected. It will also give you an option to get in touch with the 1330 Korea Travel Helpline, a multi-lingual (Korean, Japanese, English, and Chinese) travel assistance.
  • Just like any other country, the Koreans are proud of their culture so make sure that you don’t make a faux-pas. You can check out our handy guides to Korean culture and some of their beliefs.

The first thing to do when you land in the city is purchasing the subway pass if you are on a budget. The subway in Seoul is fast, convenient, cheap, as is well connected with the entire city. It should be your primary mode of transportation in the city.
