In Seoul I would suggest you start Day 1 with a visit to the Bukchon Hanok Village.

If you want to eat something here, there are a few cafes around.

Bukchon Hanok Village
@nextstopkorea
Bukchon Hanok Village is Korea's most famous Hanok Village with a beautiful view on the N Seoul Tower on top of Namsan Mountain. The village offers a glimpse into the city's past with its well-preserved architecture, narrow alleyways, and tranquil courtyards. The fact, that people still live in those houses or rent them for visitors, shows how Koreans still value their traditions until today. Also check the Crafting Activities here!

Busan
@nextstopkorea
Known for its stunning beaches and fresh seafood, this coastal city is a must-visit. It's one of my favorite places in South Korea and even though it's just another big metropole, it has a very very different vibe in comparison to Seoul.
