Oh my gosh, Korea’s summer heat is no joke! 😅 If you’re melting like me, here are my fave ways to stay cool while still living your best tourist life.

First stop — the Han River! Rent a picnic mat, grab some fried chicken, and chill under the breeze. Feeling adventurous? Try paddleboarding — it’s so fun and makes for amazing photos.

If you want pure summer vibes, hit Caribbean Bay or Wave Park — trust me, the slides and lazy rivers are chef’s kiss. For something calmer, Gangneung or Sokcho beaches are perfect, or escape to Seoraksan for that fresh mountain air.

And of course, no Korean summer is complete without an iced Americano — bonus points if it’s from a cute café. Stay cool, have fun, and let the heat be just part of the adventure!
