Day 1
Your arrival day serves as a first taste of the country (figuratively and literally). Immediately upon landing, you'll see the local renowned precision and technological perfection for yourself at the amazing Incheon Airport. Despite its relatively long distance from the center of Seoul, the connection is fast, clear, and comfortable. Thanks to this, you can save time and energy and use the rest of the day for your first exploration of the city.
Depending on your arrival time and your mood, you can soak up the atmosphere of lively Asian markets and street bistros at one of the local famous markets (we particularly recommend the Namdaemun outdoor market, which is great for buying souvenirs or other items, or alternatively, the gastronomically focused Gwangjang indoor market with an endless array of stalls selling local delicacies). Both markets are easily accessible by subway.
If you're drawn to the hill near the city center where the iconic structure and landmark of the entire metropolis stands—the N Seoul Tower—you can start right there. You can hike up Namsan Hill, where the tower stands, or take the cable car. Your reward will be a beautiful view of the pulsating city (the night view of neon-lit skyscrapers is especially worth it).
Fans of war history and military technology can begin their journey through the country with a visit to the War Memorial of Korea, which features a massive museum mapping this dark part of the country's history.
However, you can also spend the whole day or just a few evening hours in many other places without a specific goal, for example, by wandering through the lively Myeongdong district in the center of Seoul, the famous Gangnam district south of the Han River, or perhaps walking along the promenades in the popular Cheonggyecheon relaxation zone, built along the stream of the same name flowing through the city center.
This itinerary covers all these mentioned places in the following days, and details for them are provided accordingly. However, including one of them on your arrival or departure day will save you time, as there is really a lot to see in Seoul and the itinerary is quite packed. So it's up to you what you feel like doing after a long (perhaps even overnight) flight :)
Day 2
Seoul is not just a bustling metropolis of skyscrapers and advanced technology, but also a place with an amazing history and the architecture of local temples and palaces. And it is this side of the city that you will set out to explore today. At the very beginning of your exploration, don't forget to pay your respects to the most important monarch in Korean history, King Sejong the Great. Later, explore the magnificent palaces adorned with manicured gardens featuring ponds and pavilions, built during the reign of his dynasty. Walk through the winding alleys surrounded by old houses built with traditional architecture and let yourself be drawn into the unique atmosphere of this ancient neighborhood in one of the local cafes. At the end of the day, enjoy a walk along the stream cutting through the city center, with glowing skyscrapers reflecting on the water, so you don't forget that despite the rich history, you are in a modern metropolis.
Day 3
While yesterday was mainly about exploring historical gems in the form of magnificent palaces and gardens, today is focused primarily on traditions and street life. Explore the vibrant local markets and street food stalls, and get lost in their winding alleys. Enjoy the wild nightlife in a pulsing district in the heart of the city that never sleeps, and experience a true shopping and culinary fever. And since exploration should be done with all senses, enjoy the local scents and flavors, as well as the colors and hum of the streets that are truly the soul of the city.
