Location features
Location permission is used to find nearby places and calculate distances.
Precise GPS coordinates are not stored in visitor analytics. Other features work without location permission.
Live data & updates
Live places use Seoul's city data for 121 official areas to provide
crowding, estimated population and population trends.
Our retrieval time may differ from Seoul's source update time. Provider delays or temporary connection problems can affect freshness.
โข Live: current according to the source timestamp.
โข Recent data: the source data is somewhat older.
โข Delayed update: the source is old or the last successful data is being used.
Hidden gems (Korean)
The 86 hidden gems are recommended using purpose, distance, time of day and place characteristics
.
Hidden gems are separate from Seoul's live population areas;
live crowding and population estimates are not provided. Their place descriptions remain in Korean.
Reading crowding and population figures
Total population alone cannot be used to compare crowding across every place.
Places differ in area, capacity, layout and use.
โข The same number of people can feel very different in a large park and a narrow alley.
โข Crowds at entrances, alleys or event venues can differ from an area's overall crowding level.
💡 Alongside estimated population, consider theQuiet · Moderate · Busy · Crowdedcrowding level when planning a visit.
