first days in seoul: ancient alleys & climbing bukhansan mountain | korea travel vlog Welcome to a new chapter. After finishing our journey through Japan, we finally arrived in South Korea. In this video, we share our first days exploring the contrasting sides of Seoul. From arriving at our high-rise apartment near Seoul Station with a beautiful view over the city, to wandering through the historic streets of Bukchon Hanok Village where we stopped at a cozy cafe and tried rose tteokbokki and kimbap. We end our day with a peaceful evening walk through Namsan Mountain Park, watching the city lights and the N Seoul Tower. On the next day, we escape the busy city to hike up the highest peak of Bukhansan National Park: Baegundae. The sunny weather gave us the most breathtaking views over the endless grid of Seoul.
