Day 1: Seoul
Incheon International Airport
@jenuine_reviews
Our flight arrived at Incheon Airport at 2:55 PM. Once you arrive, it's important to get cash from an ATM, get a T money card (for transportation), and either get/pick up a Sim card or portable wifi. You can take the Express Arex train to get from the airport to the heart of Seoul

DDP │ Dongdaemun Design Plaza
@jenuine_reviews
5:30 PM - Take public transportation to explore DDP Plaza. This place has a lot of cool sculptures and is a great place to take pictures. At night, the building lights up.

Gwangjang Market
@jenuine_reviews
This a must-visit spot for foodie lovers! There's a ton of delicious street food, and this is the market where the famous Netflix lady (Cho Yonsoon) sells kalguksu noodles! The lines can be pretty long for her stall. We went on a Sunday, which seemed to be less busy
What I tried:
- Hodo kwaja (walnut cake)
- Kalguksu (knife cut noodles): noodles are made fresh right in front of you! The noodle soup doesn't come with protein, but some of the dumplings did.

Day 2: Nami Island Tour
Petite France
@jenuine_reviews
The tour started at 7 AM from Myeongdong Station Exit 4. We booked a tour through Viator. Highly recommend a tour so you can maximize your time and see everything! See link below! I chose this tour because we got to see 4 different spots, and was the least expensive tour
Petite France is a unique spot outside of Seoul with lots of colorful buildings with French themes. Fun to walk around. We also got to see a proposal happen here!
