During this time, you can visit iconic landmarks such as palaces and temples, enjoy historical museums, and indulge in shopping at local markets. Dining in charming cafes will also offer great value for money, making this trip ideal for budget-conscious travellers seeking a memorable experience without overspending.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Seoul, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you to seize opportunities for cheaper stays. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see the best hotel deals available. This way, you'll be informed of any price drops or availability changes for hotels you prefer, making your last-minute getaway easier.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you to potentially save on your stay in a hotel in Seoul. If you’re seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value.
