Seoul Neighborhood Trips and Visit Planning

A day for palace and lane walks, a day resting in a park or a day watching baseball: start with a neighborhood that is easy to reach from your accommodation.

Visit a palace and walk the lanes

Jongno, Bukchon and Seochon

Choose either Gyeongbokgung or Changdeokgung, then add lanes and exhibitions in Seochon or Bukchon. Leave time to eat and rest instead of rushing between palaces.

Hongdae, Yeonnam and Mangwon

Choose a café if you want to rest in Yeonnam's lanes, or a performance if you want an evening in Hongdae. Walk according to what you want to do today instead of trying to fit in Mangwon Market as well.
