You may have heard that Seoul is not the most vegan-friendly city. So its vegan festival wouldn't be any good, right?

Think again!

As a vegan foodie, the 2019 6th Vegan Festival Korea in Seoul impressed me with great food and great vibes.

The festival was separated in two sections, food and non-food. You will be glad to hear that there's a good variety of food, like burgers, desserts and more traditional Korean food. For non-food stall, you can find cruelty-free fashion, cosmetics, and more.

Read on to see some of the food and tips if you are planning to go next year.

Seoul Travel Information For Vegans

Best Time To Visit Seoul

Travel in October to November to see the beautiful Autumn leaves in Seoul. In Summer, Seoul is pretty hot and rainy; and in Winter it gets very cold. Another thing to consider is to visit Seoul when the Vegan Festival Korea is happening.

Where To Stay In Seoul For The Best Food

I recommend staying in the Hongdae or Myeongdong areas for the well-connected public transport and shopping.

Recommended Tours & Activities

To make your trip to Seoul even more memorable, these are some of the activities I'd recommend:

Internet & Data

Using an eSim for internet access is probably the most convenient way. I recommend this eSim brand where you just need to download an app and install the eSim to get internet overseas.

Pro Tips

  • Go Early. Some foods will be sold out pretty early especially the desserts.
  • Bring your utensils, and bags to take away the food you like.
  • Outside the festival, the participating cafes and restaurants may close on that day. So check their socials before going.

Direction and General Info

For just 1000 won, this traditional snack is cheap and delicious. Ask for less sauce if you can't handle spicy food (like me).
