Being an exchange student in South Korea for over three months, I would encourage people to utilize this guidance when visiting Korea. That is one of my favorite tourist destinations. The culture, scenery, and people are all distinctive. You won't be sorry if you go. I dislike the idea of making a timed itinerary. This schedule is just intended to serve as a guide to the places you should see if you are visiting Korea for the first time. It will also not recommend eateries to you. While visiting a new area, I feel that discovering the restaurant on your own is more real. Furthermore, there are so many wonderful restaurants in Korea that it is impossible to select. This is your trip, and you have complete power over it. It is entirely up to you what you do after visiting the recommended locations.

My first solo trip was when I went to Korea when I was 21! Getting around was pretty easy with Google Maps. I even managed to take the public transport on my own. I had the chance to make lots of new Korean friends, learn the song about their National flower, wander the streets of Myeong Dong and even dress in Hanboks to visit the royal palace!

South Korea has always been one of my favourite countries that I've ever been to, and I will always have a soft spot for this country.
Seoul has amazing things to do and see, from ancient palaces to modern skyscrapers, traditional markets to trendy boutiques, and mouthwatering street food and restaurants in alleyways frequented only by the locals.
Here is my one-week itinerary in Seoul. I've stayed in 3 different hotels during my stay, alternating between Myeongdong, Dongdaemun and Mapo. It allowed me to discover plenty of things in each neighbourhood. And I have also included some tours that I went on, which was incredibly amazing!
I hope this itinerary will help you find your way to the best places in Seoul, just like I did and fell in love with this city all over again.
