Day 1

  • Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon, and Insadong (Gyeongbokgung Palace)

    Catch the royal guard changing ceremony at Gwanghwamun and tour Gyeongbokgung (closed Tuesdays), then walk the hanok lanes of Bukchon quietly: it is a residential area with visiting-hour limits. Finish with tea, crafts, and Ssamziegil in Insadong. Tip: visitors wearing hanbok get free palace entry.

Day 2

  • Myeongdong and Namsan Tower (Myeongdong)

    Explore Myeongdong's skincare shops and its evening street-food stalls, then take the Namsan cable car or walk the trail up to N Seoul Tower for the night view. Tip: a T-money card works on the subway, buses, and in convenience stores.

Day 3

  • Hongdae and the Han River (Hongdae)

    Spend the afternoon in Hongdae's indie shops, cafes, and weekend busking near Hongik University, then head to Yeouido or Banpo Hangang Park for a riverside evening; Banpo Bridge runs its Moonlight Rainbow Fountain in the warmer months. Tip: order fried chicken to the park, a favorite local picnic.

Day 4

  • Gangnam or DMZ Half-Day Tour (Gangnam)

    Choose a Gangnam day with Starfield Library at COEX and K-pop landmarks, or a DMZ tour, which must be booked in advance with an authorized operator and needs your passport on the day. Tip: DMZ tours can be cancelled at short notice for security reasons, so keep a backup plan.
