Things to do in Incheon

This area has lots of Chinese restaurants and a Jajjangmyeon Museum! Walking around Chinatown on foot is easy and you can take the subway to get here. Great for pictures too!

Wolmido is very far from Seoul city but it’s nice to visit. You can ride mini train to get to wolmido park while enjoying the scenery. It’s best if you plan to go in to the theme park, if not you’ll get boring fast.

Located within the Inspire Entertainment Resort, you can enjoy the Aurora Borealis, the pool, the casino, and more before and after the concert, meaning you can enjoy the entire resort all day long, which is a major attraction.

I’m a sucker for a tower with a view :) got to Seoul, and originally wasn’t going to go to the top. First off the area to get to the tower is so cute!! Highly recommend the elevator and the cable car to get there. Too many stairs otherwise!! :) however once you get to the top the pavilion with all the love locks was my favorite!! So cute to see all the notes and locks and you can even lurchase one to add yourself! The tower is surrounded by an adorable shopping area, with lots of snack and drink options as well!! We ended up deciding last minute to head to the top and bought tickets on trip rather than at the gate (cheaper!!) the elevator was a little wild and if you get motion sickness beware :) however, as per all usual tower views, getting to see the city from that angle is always a treat. We were there during the day, and I’m sure it’s gorgeous at night too!! Cute shops at the top where we picked up a few gifts and an easy exit! Well worth a visit!

In the height of summer, Seoul Tower is more tiring with its uphill climb, but less of a hassle waiting for the cable car. It's a must-see attraction for first-time visitors. You can choose whether or not to go up the tower at your own expense; it's similar to the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. The all-glass bathrooms inside the tower are a major highlight! 😂

Watching the sunset from a boat and feeding the pigeons was very pleasant, but the evening concert was a bit lackluster; it was just one person singing, and hardly anyone was listening. The description made me think there was a small band. At the pier, we had to exchange our tickets, which required filling out a form. The staff there were incredibly unhurried, and with the boat about to depart, they were still slowly making me fill out the form. My heart was pounding! Luckily, I managed to rush and board the boat.

Big, beautiful and bustling! The palace is so spacious with so much to see and wander through. It can take you a couple hours but it’s wonderful and vibrant. I wish there was more historical information but it seems like it is being expanded in some ways. There’s tons of tourists and pretty places to take so much photos. If you wear traditional clothing, you get in for free!

It's quite fun. There are lots of different rides and facilities, making it suitable for families with children. There are also shows at night. The only downside is that it gets very crowded. The better rides have long queues.

It's a very nice place, and I like that Koreans preserve their history, preserve their houses, and live in them. I recommend not lingering on the main street, but rather, going deeper into the area where you'll find museums and more unique, less touristy places you can stop in and stroll around. But be polite and don't make noise, because that's where people live.

Located very close to Incheon Airport, it's perfect for a layover or a day trip around Seoul. The beach is long and not too crowded, with a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, free from noise and commercialization. The sunset is absolutely stunning, with planes skimming across the orange sea – a truly soothing sight, and the photos straight out of the camera are incredibly photogenic. The beach has a gentle slope, and the shallows are safe, allowing children to play in the sand. Along the coast are rows of seaside cafes and seafood restaurants, serving delicious grilled shellfish and seafood noodles. It can be quite windy at the beach, so bring a light jacket. Admission is free, and the experience of strolling, relaxing, watching the sunset, and enjoying seafood is fantastic – definitely worth a visit when in Incheon.
