This isn't your ordinary travel guide. You won't find N Seoul Tower or K-Star Road in these pages, because that's not where Seoulites hang out. Instead, you'll meet the locals at raucous barbecue joints, forward-thinking galleries and underground music dens - and that's where this book takes

- 6 themed walking tours dedicated to specific experiences such as flea markets and movie theatres.
- A beautiful gift book for anyone seeking to explore Seoul.
- Helpful 'what3word' addresses, so you can pinpoint all the listed sights.

Compiled by four proud Seoulites, this stylish travel guide is packed with Seoul's best experiences and hidden spots, handily categorized to suit your mood and needs.

Whether you're a restless on the hunt for a new hangout, or a visitor keen to discover a side you won't find in traditional guidebooks, Seoul Like A Local will give you all the inspiration you need.
