Itinerary
- Day 1
Myeongdong & street food
Land, drop bags, and dive straight into the Myeongdong night market — tornado potatoes, hotteok, and gyeranppang to shake off the jet lag.
- Day 2
Palaces & hanok village
Gyeongbokgung in the morning (rent a hanbok for free entry), then wander Bukchon Hanok Village and Insadong for tea and traditional sweets.
- Day 3
Hongdae & cafe hopping
Youthful energy, indie shops, and the best themed cafes in the city. Save room for a late-night Korean BBQ.
- Day 4
Gwangjang Market feast
The mother of all food markets — bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes), mayak gimbap, and live octopus if you're brave.
- Day 5
Namsan Tower & last bites
Cable car up N Seoul Tower for the view, then one final bowl of tteokbokki before the airport.
