Highlights

This is the side of Seoul you won't find in a tourism brochure. The walk moves through dark alleys tied to 600 years of massacres, seedy hideaways, and restless spirits. Self-proclaimed clairvoyants who've joined in the past have reported a few sightings of their own, including a little girl who seems to follow the group. It's not only ghost stories. It's a walk through Seoul's murkier, more violent history, the kind that makes the city feel a lot more layered once you know it. Guests get an online map afterward marking every haunt, murder site, and torture chamber mentioned along the way. Content is rated PG-13, with some stories touching on sex and violence. Parents and sensitive listeners, take note. Starting points: "The Original Ghostwalk" at Anguk Station, exit 2. "Ghostlore & Legends" at Seodaemun Station, exit 4. ✅Solo-friendly | ✅Female traveler-friendly | ✅LGBTQ+ friendly.

About Seoul

Royal palaces and hanok villages sit among glass towers, buzzing markets and late-night food streets in Seoul, South Korea's capital.

Five grand palaces from the Joseon dynasty grace the city, led by Gyeongbokgung, with its colourful changing of the guard, and Changdeokgung, whose Secret Garden is a serene escape. Between them, Bukchon Hanok Village preserves traditional tiled-roof houses on sloping lanes, and Insadong is known for tea houses, galleries and crafts.

Top-ranked sights in Seoul: Third Tunnel of Aggression, DMZ, Gyeongbokgung Palace.
