Here’s what I’ve seen so far (more details to follow):
Day 4 (sunny but c-c-c-cold!):
- 63 City (tower): good views of Seoul from the south bank of the Han River
- Leeum Samsung Museum: a few interesting pieces in a cool trio of buildings
- N Seoul Tower: better views of Seoul (around sunset)
- Namdaemun Night Market: only a quick walk-through the main street as not much was open on Sunday
- Silloam Fomentation Sauna: hot tubs too, so even better than the Turkish Bath (plus much cheaper and lots of facilities!
Day 3:
- Changdeokgung (palace) and Secret Garden: the latter was even more impressive than the World Heritage listed palace, especially with fall foliage!
- Yongsan Electronics Market: overwhelming!
- Itaewon: the foreigner district (saw 4 Turkish döner shops!)
Day 2:
- DMZ tour: very interesting! (long day from 7:30 to 15:30)
- Cheong-gye-chon (stream) stroll: lantern festival
Day 1:
- Bukchon Hanok Village: scenic traditional houses in neighbourhood near little art galleries
- Traditional Korean meal in a resto on main Insa-dong road
- War Memorial Museum: overkill! But the turtle boat replica was cool
- Dinner at Gwangjang Market: small market with small food section
- Went to JUMP show: fun comedic martial arts show
Also updated the map.
