If there’s only one theme park you can go to while in Seoul, make it this one. It’s the city’s largest attraction of its kind, but wild rollercoaster rides aren’t the only attraction you’ll find here. Lotte World offers everything from stores and water rides to theaters and a folk museum.
Seoul Land

Korean food is popular around the world, but the best place to try it is, of course, South Korea. Start with Korean barbecue if you’re up for grilled meats and side dishes. You can also try fermented vegetables (kimchi) and tteokbokki rice cakes.
Nature
Korea’s city life is incredible, but you also need to check out the amazing nature around the country. The best place to visit if you’re staying in Seoul is the Bukhansan National Park. Spend a quiet day exploring the big forests and numerous temples that perfectly contrast the noisy city life.

The donuts at this store may not look any different from any others you can find at similar Instagram-friendly shops around the world. What makes them unique is their delicious filling, and you’ll be quite satisfied with your pick after taking a bite.
#oldferrydonutDespite the fact they serve a wide range of donuts with many tasty fillings and colorful toppings, their most popular treat isn’t something you can order at any other donut store. Tiny Homer Simpson-inspired pink sprinkle donuts are served in a cup, floating on latte foam and you shouldn’t leave Old Ferry Donut without trying this signature treat.
If you’re not a huge donut fan, ice cream shop Salty Bob is located downstairs, and it should satisfy your cravings for something sweet, but most people enjoy checking out both joints because their desserts are equally tasty.
