I’m currently working on a service for lone nomadic workers.
Today, I’d like to write about the growing interest in workcations among office workers and how Seoul is a very attractive place to work.
With the popularity of K-POP and Hallyu content and culture, Seoul is becoming a hotspot for workcations around the world.
On Nomadlist, an information-sharing site for digital nomads who travel and work around the world, Seoul is ranked #7 on the list after Bangkok and Chiang Mai, Thailand (as of August 2, 2024).
Seoul ranks 7th in global nomad popularity (Nomadlist, 24.08.02)
Let’s take a look at some of the best places to work in Seoul✨.
The Han River Cafe with a view of the Han River
If you were to work in Seoul, you might want to:
- Work with a panoramic view of the Han River or get creative in a quiet hanok cafe.
- Be inspired by the city’s vibrant atmosphere and energized by its many cultural events and activities.
- Enjoy the unique experiences that Seoul has to offer after work, such as food tours, shopping, and performances.
So, where should you go for your Seoul work vacation? Here are our top 3 recommendations🌴
- Seongsu-dong: A hipster mecca, full of trendy cafes, restaurants, and artistic spaces. At the same time, Seoul Forest and Ttukseom Hangang Park are within walking distance, making it a great place to enjoy nature.
Seoul’s Brooklyn, trendy and hip Seongsu-dong.
- Iksun-dong/Bukchon neighborhood: A charming mix of quiet hanoks and stylish cafes, this area lacks the coworking space of Gangnam and Seongsu, but it has its own advantages in a relaxed environment. It has a lot of potential to become a work vacation spot, especially for foreign nomad workers.
Bukchon Hanok Village, a traditional Korean hanok village
- Gangnam/Yangjae: The center of business and entertainment in Seoul. A great place to work with coworking spaces, cafes, and a variety of things to do, you can also enjoy the Yangjae Stream and nature.
