5 days in Seoul Itinerary

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace. For shopping fun, head to Myeongdong Shopping Street or Namdaemun Market. Venture out of the city with trips to DMZ Haemaru Village (in Paju) and Hwaseong Fortress (in Suwon). And it doesn't end there: don't miss a visit to Insadong, pause for some serene contemplation at Myeong-dong Cathedral, take a stroll through Bukchon Hanok Village, and admire the striking features of Deoksugung.
