Seoul First Visit: Classic
Myeongdong and Namsan, Gyeongbokgung, Bukchon and Insadong, ending in Hongdae: three days to cover Seoul's essential highlights.
Stay in Myeongdong. On day one, explore the Myeongdong shopping streets in the afternoon and catch the sunset and night view from N Seoul Tower on Namsan. On day two, wear hanbok to visit Gyeongbokgung, then walk through Bukchon, Insadong and Ikseon-dong, ending the evening at Gwangjang Market. On the last morning, explore Hongdae and the Gyeongui Line Forest Park, then take the AREX airport train to leave. The itinerary includes no day trips, making it well suited to a short first visit to Seoul.
Early April for cherry blossoms and late October to early November for autumn foliage are the best times to visit. Summers are hot, humid and rainy.
