So if your thinking to do a short getaway to Seoul alone, here’s some ideas what u could do!!
(Travel period: 27 Feb -2 March)
Day 1: SG > ICN (Tway)
💙reach ICN around 6ish AM
- rly bad immigration, only 1 counter open and a lot ppl, queue so long that the SES counter opened n went to register !! ( SG passport Rmb to register so can use e gate!)
💙 airport coach to hotel !
- hotel choice: Fairfield by Marriott Seoul (super good n value for money do solo travel!)
- deposited luggage & change of clothes( it was so so cold)
💙had a brow appointment at yeonnam, so went there to get some breakfast, after the appointment, ran some errand to clear my shopping list before heading back to hotel to check in
💙rested abit after checked in, went out at night to
Hongdae hapjeong area, to visit romi story & 09 women to find clothes !
Subsequently headed to DDP area for shopping, ate dinner at some food stand 😮💨🤭

Solo traveling in Seoul can be an incredibly rewarding experience, especially if you love flexibility and exploring at your own pace. Based on my 4-day trip, here are some additional tips that helped me make the most out of traveling solo in this bustling city: First, choosing a hotel that fits solo travelers’ needs is essential. I stayed at Fairfield by Marriott Seoul, which offered great value and comfort, plus it’s centrally located—making it easy to access different neighborhoods without wasting time. Booking accommodations near public transport like subway stations or airport coaches also saves hassle. When it comes to dining solo, Korean food culture often revolves around group meals, which can be intimidating at times. I found ordering delivery or grabbing simple meals from food stands a practical way to enjoy local tastes without feeling out of place. Some cozy eateries in Hongdae and near Yeonnam offer quick bites perfect for solo visitors. Exploring neighborhoods like Mullae and Seongsu reveals Seoul’s vintage and artsy sides beyond the usual tourist spots. These areas have a relaxed vibe, local cafes, and unique shops that are great for solo explorers who want to dive deeper into the city’s culture. A note on packing light: shopping is one of the joys of Seoul, but carrying heavy bags alone can be tiring. I recommend shipping larger purchases back home or using hotel concierge services to store your luggage while you continue exploring. Lastly, solo travel means setting your own schedule, which is freeing but can tempt you to stay indoors when feeling tired. I learned to balance rest with outings by planning low-key activities nearby the hotel on slower days. Overall, solo traveling in Seoul is about embracing independence, trying new experiences, and sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone. I can’t wait to do it again and hear about others’ solo travel stories in Korea!
