Seoul Itinerary: 3 Days of Hidden Gems & Recharging

Available for hire
Tired of itineraries that take you to the same places you've heard of a million times? I have things you'll love in this one! β¨π₯³
For 3 days, this plan will take you to the lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path places you can later humble-brag about to your friends. Not to mention the amount of healing you'll get while soaking in the best version of Seoul aesthetics.
This itinerary is perfect IF you:
β
Love hidden gems
β
Love seeing more locals than tourists
β
Love a later start to your days and taking it slow
OR
β
Need some break from the hustle and bustle on your trip
Put together for you with the utmost love β€οΈ I have for this city, from someone who's visited 16 times. I hope you enjoy it! π₯Ή

Day 1: Naksan City Wall
Day Start @ 11:00 AM
Take it slow on the first day and spend all the time you need at each of the stops. Bring your favorite book or headphones and make sure to have your favorite playlist ready!
Getting There
I recommend starting the trail from the Heunginjimun side.
1) Take the Metro line 1 or 4 to Dongdaemun Station

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Petra Udomprasert
Available for hire
I'm a cultural travel blogger and digital nomad who has spent the past three years constantly turning new places into some form of home. This means I'm always traveling, seeking out local experiences, and trying to connect to new cultures.
Connecting deeply with the places you visit makes your experience so much more meaningful and memorable, so I'm here to help you create more memorable trips through my guides and services. π₯°
π©΅ I love my work as much as I love travel. This means that anything I provide you comes straight from my heart. I recommend places and dishes I love, and I plan your trips as if they were my own. π©΅
TOP COUNTRIES OF EXPERTISE:
πΉπ I'm Thai, born and raised! I grew up around Thai culture, food, and all the amazing places around Bangkok. After moving to the US nine years ago, I'd travel around the country with my mom when I visited home each year. Today, I'm well-versed not only in Bangkok but also in Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Chiang Rai, and Krabi.
π°π· Since first getting into K-Pop when I was 13, I've learned the language and visited South Korea 16 times and still counting. I know Seoul like the back of my hand, and I have access to local resources thanks to my Korean knowledge.
π§π· I spent 3 months living in Rio de Janeiro on an intensive language program. During that time, I constantly hung out with Brazilian friends, explored the city like a local, and tried every single local dish I could find.
AM I RIGHT FOR YOU? π€
β¨ LOCAL: I love recommending hole-in-the-wall places and local favorites.
β¨ CULTURAL: Beach clubs and nightclubs are out of the question for me. You can find those back home, so no need to pay for that plane ticket just to go to more. π
β¨ HISTORY: Although I love hidden gems that make you feel like a local, if a big attraction is historically significant, I'll always recommend it!
