Chapter Trail
Stroll Through the Namsan Seoul Tower Love Locks
No romantic trip to Seoul is complete without a visit to Namsan Seoul Tower. Take the cable car up to the observation deck, where you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the city.
Don’t forget to leave a love lock on the railing—a sweet tradition where couples write their names on a lock, attach it to the fence, and throw away the key as a symbol of everlasting love.
Take a Han River Night Cruise in Seoul
For a magical evening, hop on a Han River cruise and sail past Seoul’s illuminated skyline.
The sparkling lights, gentle river breeze, and peaceful ambiance make it a perfect setting for a romantic date. Many cruises offer dinner, live music, and even fireworks on special occasions, making this an unforgettable Valentine’s Day experience.
Capture Romantic Memories in a Korean Couple Photoshoot
Korea is famous for its couple culture, and what better way to celebrate love than with a professional couple photoshoot? Head to a Korean-style studio in Seoul or take outdoor photos in picturesque spots like Bukchon Hanok Village or Nami Island. Dress in hanbok (traditional Korean attire) or go for a modern K-drama-inspired look to create lasting memories.
Enjoy a Cozy Café Date in Hongdae or Samcheong-dong
South Korea is home to some of the world’s most charming cafés, making it a paradise for couples.
Visit a themed café in Hongdae, where you can sip on beautifully crafted lattes while enjoying artsy vibes, or head to Samcheong-dong, a picturesque neighborhood lined with romantic, traditional-style cafés. Opt for a rooftop café with a view or a flower-themed café for an extra touch of romance.
Wander Through the Cherry Blossom Paths of Jeju Island
If you’re visiting South Korea in February, you might be lucky enough to catch the early cherry blossoms in Jeju Island.
Walk along the scenic roads lined with delicate pink flowers, explore the island’s stunning coastline, and share a quiet moment together by the ocean. Jeju’s natural beauty and slower pace make it an ideal romantic getaway.
Take a Romantic Train Ride to the Snowy Mountains of Gangwon-do
For a winter wonderland experience, take a scenic train ride to the snow-covered landscapes of Gangwon-do. Visit Alpensia or Yongpyong ski resorts, where you can ski, snowboard, or simply enjoy a cup of hot chocolate while watching the snowfall.
If skiing isn’t your thing, try the Gangchon Rail Bike Park, where you and your partner can pedal along a former railway track surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.
Watch the Sunset at Haeundae Beach, Busan
Nothing is more romantic than watching the sun set over the ocean, and Haeundae Beach in Busan is one of the best places to do it.
Walk along the shore, feel the ocean breeze, and enjoy street food from nearby vendors. For a special touch, visit The Bay 101, where you can have a romantic dinner with a stunning view of Busan’s glittering skyline reflecting on the water.
