Seoul Travel Guide for Muslim Visitors

If you are a Muslim yourself or you know any, you probably have an idea of how they look for places having halal items everywhere. Muslims can’t eat anything from anywhere as it is part of their religious practice to consume only Halal food. Moreover, they avoid certain places like pubs, bars, and clubs that other people normally go. This narrows down their options when they choose where to go or what to eat. And this exactly is the reason they look for information online and ask around before visiting new places. Taking the diversity of our regular visitors into account, we have also made this Seoul travel guide for Muslim visitors in South Korea. 

In this guide, you will get to know about your options in Seoul in terms of food, mosques, Islamic centers, and a lot of other fun stuff. We will make sure your purpose of visiting this blog is served at its maximum. Providing you quality and authentic information is what we live for.
So, why wait for more? Let’s get started!

Mosques Top The Seoul Travel Guide for Muslim Visitors

Since prayers are quite an inevitable part of everyday Muslim life, it is crucial for us to list down the mosques Seoul has. I mean, our Seoul travel guide for Muslim visitors would be incomplete without having mosques in it.
Muslims have to pray 5 times a day in mosques. This means, they really need to look for mosques all around the city because most of the prayers are done during the daytime. So let’s take a look at the most popular mosques in Seoul.

Seoul Central Masjid 

Address: 39 Usadan-ro 10-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Islamic Center/Community-Run Prayer Room

Address: 5 Yeongsin-ro 19-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

Other than these, there are many prayer rooms throughout the city in shopping malls, indoor parks, stores, hospitals, and universities. For instance, Seoul National University Hospital and Seoul St.Mary’s Hospital have rooms for Muslims’ prayers too.
