If youโve never taken a City Tour Bus before, Seoul is the place to do so. City Tour Buses are an excellent method to experience a city while avoiding the hassle of transit. View Seoulโs hotspots from the upper deck of a bright red bus. I rode my first City Tour Bus in New York City and had a fantastic time. Itโs just something so touristy and enjoyable.
Donโt squander money on taxis and buses. Donโt get mixed up on the subway. Take the opportunity to board this bus on your first trip to Seoul to get a feel for the city while getting a lay of the land.
Route A: Downtown Palace Namsan Course
This route has 22 stops and begins and ends in central Seoul at Gwanghwamun Square, just south of Gyeongbokgung Palace. It leads visitors past some of the cityโs historical highlights and must-see Seoul tourist attractions. However, there are a few points to keep in mind about this route: the bus will NOT stop at Deoksugung Palace on Saturdays or national holidays. This training is delivered using a single-decker bus.

- Fares: Adults pay W18,000; children aged 5 to 17 pay W12,000
Route B: Panorama Course
This route contains 16 stops, but please keep in mind that the bus does not stop at Saebit Island on weekends or holidays. This path takes visitors to some of the top sites in the city for views, and you can see from the city center to Han Riverside in one tour. This route is served by double-decker buses and trolley buses.

- Fares: Adults pay W15,000; children aged 5 to 17 pay W12,000
Route D: Night course
This route features 12 stations and is a fantastic way to obtain a beautiful glimpse of Seoulโs vast city lights at night. For this tour to take place, at least ten persons must sign up. Itโs also worth noting that the bus only stops at Some Sevit on weekends. This tour includes stops at vistas far above the city as well as attractions along the Han River. Lights and movement may be seen from every vantage point along this route.
- Departure Point: Gwanghwamun Station, exit 6 in front of the Koreana Hotel.
- Departure Time: Once a day at 7:30pm; 8:00pm in July and August.
- Fares: Adults: W15,000; Children: W9,000
- What You Should Know: The night course is a little different in that it takes you all around the city but doesnโt stop as much as the day trip ones. Itโs more about crossing across the Han Riverโs multiple bridges and witnessing the lights dazzling. Depending on the day, the bus will either stop at Some Sevit or at Dongjak Bridge. You can also take a 15-minute break at Namsan Tower/N Seoul Tower. This route is served by double-decker open-air buses and trolleys.
