[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Bosingak (Updated Jun)

In Seoul, there are many entrances and exits at the subway station and you can walk to many places with the sheltered walkways. This is so useful during raining and cold weather so you are always indoor. If the weather is good then you can walk on ground and explore the sights and sounds along the way. I chance upon Bosingak Pavilion when I exit at exit 5 and walk towards Insadong. Then passby Jonggak station Exit 4 and discover Bosingak Pavilion. It means a large bell pavilion in South Korea and it house the bell which will alert the gurads to open and close the gates. In the olden days, it was also an emergency bell to alert everyone when any disaster struck. #fallishere #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Location: Bosingak, Jongno-gu, Seoul Get off at Jonggak Station and come out to the intersection, and you'll see the famous Bosingak right away! There are benches in front, so you can sit and heal. Every year-end, I saw Bosingak on TV, but I was able to see it up close and feel the beautiful architecture. I also read about its history and meaning, so I was able to enjoy it more deeply! Although I can't go inside, the sight of it blending in with the greenery is beautiful.🌳 #Hanok

Cafe Seoul Sanghoe located in Jonggak Station is famous for its window seats that offer a view of Bosin Pavilion. I had an appointment nearby, so I sat there alone for a while and spent some time there. The view was pretty thanks to the green trees, and the atmosphere was quiet, so I really liked it :) Plus, the Einspanner was delicious, so I liked it even more! 📍 3rd floor of Donggang Building, 17 Ujeongguk-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul #Cafe with a good view #Bosin Pavilion #Jonggak Station Cafe #Jonggak Cafe #Jongno Cafe #Seoul Sanghoe

#AprilTravelSupport A traditional bell tower in Jongno, Seoul, where the bell was rung to tell the time during the Joseon Dynasty. It is currently a historical symbol of Seoul, famous for its New Year's Eve bell ringing ceremony, and is located right in front of Exit 4 of Jonggak Station. The New Year's Eve bell ringing ceremony is an event where the bell is rung 33 times at midnight every December 31st to welcome the new year. It is usually quiet, but it is still a popular symbolic location.

#Seoul Cherry Blossoms #Cheonggyecheon #Pushingate 080425 (4) Years and a half ago to Seoul have come to Cheonggyecheon, but it was evening, can not recognize the road, so this time specially arranged to arrive before dark, unfortunately Cheonggyecheon many renovation works, and no water, so not as beautiful as before! Of course I will buy snacks while walking ☺️😁! Chicken cake 🥚 and sugar cake 🫓 are not too high in calories and you can eat while walking 🚶, very convenient 😅😋! Because it was quite windy and a bit cold 🥶🤧, the wind blew 🌬️ cherry blossom petals 🌸 like snow ❄️ floated to the ground, beautiful ☺️!

Not driving, traveling with my father who is over 60 years old. If you are going to Seoul for the first time, or planning to travel alone, this post is for your reference. The itinerary is suitable for people who want to see the history and culture, experience life in Seoul, and are not in a hurry to complete the itinerary, but not suitable for shopping people. —————————————————————————— The first card I recommend is the Climate Companion Card. [You can find it by searching on Google] This card allows you to choose from 1 to 7-day passes, which are valid for "subway in the Seoul area (within the metropolitan area), Seoul city-licensed buses, community buses (including late-night buses), and Dinglingling buses." A 7-day pass is only 20,000 won. Well worth it. (You can buy it directly at subway stations and convenience stores like 7-11!) After use, you can use it as a T-money card. The second card is the "wowpass card", which is suitable for transportation and ordinary food payments. It is similar to the Octopus card, but can be exchanged for foreign currency. It is easy to use when we take the subway outside the metropolitan area, buy things at convenience stores, and pay at restaurants. Note: 1. Generally, cash is required at night markets. 2. You can download the wowpass card apps first, use the electronic card or find out the location of the vending machine first, and make sure you will get off at Incheon Airport Terminal 1/2. You will have to queue up in long lines at Myeongdong and Hongdae subway stations. 3. It was my first time to go to Korea, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a currency exchange place there, so I exchanged won at a Hong Kong bank [0.062]. I found that the exchange rate was lower than wowpass [0.067], local and airport currency exchange shops [0.071]. I suggest that you exchange at half the rate at a Hong Kong bank! ） 4. I would not recommend you to buy a transfer card, because senior citizens can enter many attractions for free, nor would I recommend you to buy a T-money card, because there are two cards that offer better discounts. But if you don't want to bother, it's up to you. Day 1 (We took an overnight flight, so we got off the plane at around 7am, but we queued until almost 9am to leave the airport. Since it was the first day, I was worried that my dad had not adapted to the weather, and we were in a strange place, so we changed the original route.) Morning: Arrive at Incheon Airport, take the subway, go to the hotel, and have lunch. Noon: Go to Gwanghwamun Station, visit Deoksugung Palace, pass by Seoul Library, and go to Seoul Plaza (it is recommended to go there in the evening, as there is nothing to see at noon), and wait for the sightseeing bus (you can make an appointment in advance, which is suitable for the elderly to take a break) Evening: Go to the Myeongdong night market and have dinner.

#CanadaFlightEvent This is the symbol of Jongno. It is one of the representative tourist destinations that many foreigners visit. This traditional architecture stands proudly among the modern Korean high-rise buildings. It is worth seeing once in a while. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, so please visit. #Bosingak

#0yentravelFebruary2025 A delicious espresso cafe I found in Jongno. The good thing about Seoul is that you won't run out of cafes at night. The cafes are open for a long time, so you can enjoy tea even after dinner. The signature menu item is Caffè pistachio. The sweet cream with the aroma of pistachio matches the bitterness of the coffee, making it delicious. It makes me feel like I'm in Italy! The other one is Knows Latte. Thick cream and cookie-like toppings on top of espresso. It's a rich cream latte with just the right amount of sweetness, and it's also nice that it's decaf. The cream sandwich looks delicious. The takeout box is cute, so it would make a good souvenir.

#2025OverseasTravelEvent 📍Location: 54 Jongro, Jongro-gu, Seoul Bosin Pavilion Bosin Pavilion is a place with a great night view. It is a great place to visit as it is located in the center of Seoul, such as Jongro or Cheonggyecheon. It is especially popular with foreigners, so if you have foreign friends, it is a great place to recommend.

#2025OverseasTravelEvent The Seoul Light Festival held in Cheonggyecheon had various works on display and explanations were provided, which was nice. It was nice to be able to think about the works after appreciating the works and reading the explanations. #SeoulLightFestival #Cheonggyecheon

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #SouthKoreaTravel #bosingak 📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered. I intended to visit Insadong. At the entrance, I found an old building. It is very beautiful. From reading the history, I know that it used to be very important. This building is a bell tower. 🔔 The original bell has been kept in a museum. The current one is a new replica. Bosingak has been renamed many times. It has been renovated many times. According to tradition, it is used to ring to tell the opening and closing of the city gate. It rings 33 times in the morning when the door is opened and 28 times in the evening to close the city gate. It is also used in emergencies such as fires. 🔥

How delicious would it be to eat raw fish in the summer? (How long are you going to keep eating this delicious raw fish;;) I ordered it while thinking about the raw fish I had in Gangneung before, and it was more generous than I expected! 😁 A bowl full of raw fish and ice cubes. I finished it all and even had some noodles. I recommend this new second round of drinking in Jonggak. . . . . . #HoerangSalmon #JonggakRestaurant #JonggakMulhoe 🎈 HoerangSalmon 📍2nd floor, 23, Samil-daero 17-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul ⏰ Open daily from 10:00 to 24:00
