Korea is more than K-pop and palaces.

It’s hidden alleyways, late-night convenience stores, steaming bowls of street food, and quiet hanok courtyards where everyday life unfolds.

Citygram Seoul is a blog created for foreigners living in or visiting Korea. Here you’ll find local insights, cultural guides, practical tips, and everyday curiosities — all written in English by a local writer.

From your first Korean meal to handling documents at a 주민센터, from exploring beyond Instagram-famous spots to understanding the small details of daily life — our goal is to help you experience Korea with confidence and clarity.

Hello! I’m Marcus, a long-time Seoul resident and the writer of Citygram Seoul.
I started this blog to help travelers and expats experience Korea beyond guidebooks and Instagram checklists.

Here, I share what I see and feel every day — from the small details of Korean food culture and daily life to the practical side of living in Seoul, like banking, visas, and phone plans.

I write in English so that anyone — whether you’re a traveler, a digital nomad, or a new expat — can feel more at home in Korea.

Citygram Seoul is not a travel agency. It’s a curated journal of insights, fragments, and everyday moments that shape life here.
