Plan Your Seoul Trip

A simple checklist to get your LGBTQ+ Seoul trip sorted.

Get your K-ETA

Most visitors need a K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) before flying. Apply online at least 72 hours before departure.

Stay in LGBTQ+ friendly areas. Itaewon is the main gay district with the best nightlife and easiest access to bars and clubs.

Each neighborhood has its own vibe — Itaewon for nightlife, Jongno for local bars, Hongdae for younger crowds. Plan your route.

Pride festivals, drag shows, club nights — see what's happening during your visit so you don't miss out.
