HOW MANY DAYS TO STAY / SAMPLE ITINERARY

Seoul is a massive city with much to see. Ren and I don’t like to rush so we stayed 7 nights each on our two trips to Korea. I think staying a week in Seoul is great, but 5 nights will probably be enough for most first-time visitors to the city.

Here’s a sample 6D/5N Seoul itinerary I put together to help you plan your trip. This is a basic itinerary that doesn’t take into account seasonal attractions like the cherry blossoms or skiing.
