About Roam Seoul

What's on in Seoul,
all on one map

Roam Seoul lays the city's festivals, concerts, palace openings and markets over a map of its palaces, cafes and neighbourhoods, filtered to the dates of your trip.

It is built to list every public event in Seoul. Right now it lists 485 events from 130 official sources and 542 gigs from 40 venues' own schedules in the next 30 days, big and small, checked every day.

Who's behind it

Roam Seoul was founded by Daniel, who has lived in Canada, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Japan, France, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Vietnam, and has travelled to many more countries. He also runs Roam Tokyo and Roam Kyoto.

He's a very social person, and wherever he lives or visits he goes looking for the best events and places in town. Roam Seoul does that looking for Seoul and puts what it finds in one place.

What's on the site

Start with the map. Set your dates and it shows what's on while you're here, alongside the places worth a visit, each pin with its nearest station, a cost band, how long to allow and when to go.

Around the map sit neighbourhood guides for the areas you might stay in, and seasonal collections like free things to do and rainy days for when the timing shapes your trip.

By the numbers

There's also an events calendar for festivals, markets and exhibitions.

A sister site

Roam Seoul is a sister site of Roam Tokyo, Roam Kyoto, Roam Osaka, Roam Taipei, Roam Bangkok, Roam Montréal and Roam Paris, which cover their cities the same way, with a map, neighbourhood guides and an events calendar. If your trip takes in more than one, you'll find the same layout on each.

How the site is made

Facts on a place page come from the place's own page or an official body, and a fact that can't be confirmed is left off. Photos are added only when they are Creative Commons photos of the actual place, credited to the photographer.

Hotel recommendations

When you book a hotel through Roam Seoul, the site may earn a small commission through Stay22. It doesn't change what's on the map or which areas the guides suggest.
