Discover Seoul Pass- the only ticket you need for your Seoul Tour!

Seoul is a bustling city which has so much to offer with so many sights to see and things to experience. Here's a tip to get the most out of your Seoul adventure. Ever wondered how to tour major attractions in Seoul with only 24-hours on your hand? Introducing the newest Discover Seoul Pass! This all-in-one card works like a magic pass allowing you to enter 16 must-see traditional and modern attractions in the city. The Seoul pass will grant you access to museums, palaces and art exhibits. 





If it's your first time in Seoul and clueless on which spots to visit, then the pass would be an excellent and convenient alternative. All you have to do is choose among the 16 attractions and make your itinerary based on your interest. The pass has something for everyone whether you're a KPOP fan, a history buff or a comic character enthusiast. And what's more? You get to enjoy everything with an unbeatable cheapest price offer of only 39, 900! This is a huge discount compared if you total all the entrance tickets to all those 16 attractions. The one-time payment is also valid for a day so you have the luxury of visiting as many attractions as you can.


I would highly recommend the Discover Seoul Pass whether you're travelling alone or as a group. If you're alone, it can be overwhelming to plan a complete itinerary. But with a Seoul pass, you are guaranteed to save the hassle of figuring out the city on your own since you'll get a chance to visit the major attraction highlights. If you're travelling as a group, you can try doing a 24-hour Amazing Race Challenge for fun! You can actually beat each other out on who can complete the mission on visiting the 16 attractions within a day. It can be a thrilling experience as you customize your tour with your own unique race challenge ideas such as take a picture with Lee Min-Ho, or dance with Psy on a hologram Concert. 

The Discover Seoul Pass comes with a map and the card itself can be reloaded with money to be used as a transportation card, so that's another thing to check-off your worry list. And if you get hungry just simply use the card as payment for convenience stores. 





So are you ready to embark on your exciting Seoul discovery? Here's some sneak peeks on what to expect on the attractions. Happy Seoul-searching, lol! 

1) MBC- One of the largest broadcasting companies in Korea, MBC offers three different tour zones for your Hallyu fix. What makes this theme park stand out is the QR code with your ticket. Since the tour has different photo booths with the stars, it automatically saves your pictures with your ticket. After the tour, you have the option to print those celebrity-studded photos or buy the USB where all the shots are saved. It also offers a view of the real news room as well as interactive zones to experience VR technology. 











































2) Grevin Museum- One of the newest attractions in the city where you can get to see the wax figures of famous people. It's the closest you can get to your favorite celebrities with their real-life figures on display. Where else can you see all these prominent stars gathered in one place?

3) K Live- KPOP fans unite! It's the world's first KPOP performance hall. The attraction is located inside Lotte Fitin Mall so it's fairly easy to find. You will have the chance to see hologram concerts of the biggest names in KPOP, how cool is that? It's also an interactive experience since you'll get your pictures taken before the show and be included in the actual performance! Imagine dancing with Psy and Bigbang! Regular ticket price is 15,000 at day and 33,000 at night. It's a fraction of a cost compared to going to actual live concerts. You can check the webpage for the schedule of the show and the artist line-up. 
















4) Figure Museum- Life-size marvel heroes, anime characters, action movie icons, they're all in full exhibit at the Figure museum. They also have a collection of hundreds of Gundam models and replicas of movie props such as Captain America's shield, Thor's hammer and Bat car. You can totally geek out with their vast display of diverse character figures.

6) Gyeongbuk Palace- One of the 5 palaces in Seoul, this one's the biggest and most-visited. I went here on a trip last year and you can check some photos through my other post. 

Gyeongbuk is only one of the major palaces but the Seoul Discover pass offers entry to ALL the other palaces such as ChangdeokgungDeoksugungUnhyeongung,Changgyeonggung.
So if you want to travel back in time and learn more about these ancient grand structures then these palaces are a must-see. 



7) N Seoul Tower- Countless dramas have been shot with the backdrop of NSeoul so it's often been considered as one of the representative tourist sights of Seoul. It's perfect for those couples who are in search of a romantic place to seal their promise in the love lock area or for singles just wanting to enjoy the night view on the observatory deck. NSeoul Tower will surely give you a romantic atmosphere day or night. 


8) Trick Eye Museum in Hongdae- Another trick eye museum worth visiting if you love fun pop arts. Here's some photos my friends and I took during the Chuseok holiday. Of course, why visit one, when you can actually tour two trick museums? Alive Museum and Trick Eye Museum offers totally different paintings so you're guaranteed a different experience if you visit both.
