"Seoul Walking Tour"..... Let's Goooo

Since when I am in South Korea, I am having problem about language barrier that is why I feel a kind of hindrance in my mind every time whenever I decided to explore various cities of Korea. I live in Ansan a small city which is growing rapidly and it is located near Seoul and luckily Seoul Metro Subway covers this city as well.

Seoul being the real attraction of South Korea is always remained undiscovered whenever I visited it even though if I had leisure time.

My curiosity to explore and go wild to see and experience new made me to use many touring applications in my phone to discover Seoul more and more, but it was somehow not satisfactory or you may say not up to my own expectations.

But then as KTO member I was asked to use “Seoul Walking Tour” App, which is unique of its kind and with some new concepts.

This application is developed by Korean Tourism Organization KTO so it is especially for tourists and is authentic enough to be trusted, followed and recommended.

Firstly it solves the problem of language that one can use this application in many languages like English, Japanese, and Chinese. Then it provides you to explore the attractions by a simple walk. But this walk in not as simple as I said…it covers about 20 attractions and places worth seeing and charming for tourists.

I personally think that one cannot complete this walk in one day.  If you really want to enjoy each and every tourist spot then you have to use this app again and again.

Having this installed in your phone you feel like you have conquered the downtown of Seoul, it covers mainly three regions each have many places which are important and famous with respect to tourism.

1.       Cheonggyecheon Stream

Cheonggye Plaza

Gwangtonggyo Bridge

Jeongjo

Neunghaeng Banchado

Supyogyo Bridge Site

Ogansugyo Bridge

2.       Jongno 

Bosingak Pavilion

Yukuijeon

Tapgol Park

Insa-dong

Jogyesa Temple

Postal Memorial Hall

3.       Gwanghwamun Plaza.

Seoul City Hall

Gwanghwamun Plaza

National Museum of Korean Contemporary History

Seoul Museum of History

Jeongdong-gils Cheon

Each of these places is worth seeing and well recommended on internet by tourists.

If you do not have Seoul Walking tour app then I am afraid that you have to plan separately for each place to visit but through this useful app in your phone you will be able to manage your short visit of Seoul into highly exploring and attractive one as it guides you thoroughly and tells exactly where to go and what to see. So nothing will be missed in your tour.

Another unique feature of this application is the Audio files having the imp info and guidelines about the place you are visiting. This helps you a lot and makes the application more easy to use you just have to select and listen.

This app also includes important and detailed info about each place you are visiting. Information includes almost every thing you may need to know about the attraction you are visiting from history to the no of visitors. it also tells you about the fee of entrance into any place if there so you may also manage your budget if touring in groups.

It shows you the map of the place you are heading to so you are not lost anywhere. This map is precise as shown in the screenshot.

Then the most important feature is the help line that is free and language friendly an operator is there to help you in different languages about any problem you might be having during your visit to downtown. The no is 1330…one should know no and should have this application in his phone to avoid any inconvenience.

I personally have been in Cheonggye Plaza, Gwanghwamun Plaza and  Seoul City Hall and so almost all related areas nearby in all directions.
