Is it easy to travel alone in Seoul ?

I am a female, intending to travel alone to Seoul for a week in early March.





What would the weather be like %26amp; is it easy to travel around when I cant speak korean?

it will be cool but not cold, usually at that time.





Travel is no problem- use the subway and its easy.





Other things may not be quite so simple, but people are often- usually- extremely helpful, even if they don%26#39;t speak the language. Learn a few words: kamsahamnida for thank you; hwajangshil for bathroom/toilet, and so on, and you will be fine.

I think Seoul%26#39;s weather is about 5 degree lower than Tokyo%26#39;s. I was there on early March last year, and morning and and evening were quite cold, i have to wear winter coats, but daytime temp was pretty high.





Many touristy areas such Insa-dong, Myeongdong and Namdaemoon and Dongdaemoon markets have English and Japanese signs. I think subways of Korea is just as excellent as Tokyo.




Thank you, Thank you...





I hope I dont get lost there...





Ha ha




I went there alone in September.





It was no problem, sometimes a little complicated if you go somewhere where tourists dont go. But people help. Take a map with korean on it (tourist maps are good, in korean english etc) just in case you get lost and point ;)




Thank you..





Really appreciate your help.





Happy Prosperous Ox Year...




You%26#39;ll be fine. Just do some planning, bring a guidebook and use the subway to get around. Everything on the metro is marked in English and you%26#39;ll have a good handle on it in an afternoon or so.





Weather wise, it will still be a bit chilly so you%26#39;ll need sweaters / jacket.





Enjoy.
