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! โจ๐ฅณ
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:
โ
Love hidden gems
โ
Love seeing more locals than tourists
โ
Love a later start to your days and taking it slow
OR
โ
Need some break from the hustle and bustle on your trip
Put together for you with the utmost love โค๏ธ I have for this city, from someone who's visited 16 times. I hope you enjoy it! ๐ฅน

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
Hi! I'm Petra! Iโm Thai, born and raised. My business is based in the US, but I call Thailand and South Korea my homes and have lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for several months.
From my years living in Thailand and my annual 2-month-long visits, I'm especially knowledgeable and up-to-date about Thailand, its trends, and its culture. What are the coolest things to see and do (not necessarily the most touristy ones!), where are the best places to find authentic food (places that say "authentic" are out of the question), and which hotels have the best service... I can give you all these insider-level tips!
I've lived in the US since 2015. As a digital nomad, I don't have a city or state that I'm based in, but I know LA especially well having lived there permanently for 8 years.
Another of my expertise is South Korea, Seoul specifically, and Korean culture and history in general. Having grown up learning the language and visiting so often (14 times and counting), I can comfortably count Seoul as my second home. And I can confidently give you the best insider tips to Seoul just as well as Thailand!
My travel style is culture-based. I love having deep connections with the local culture and people wherever I visit. So you won't find beach clubs or nightclubs much among my recommendations. Basically, if it is something you can see and experience at home, I'm not recommending it!
