Seoul
South KoreaSeoul blends royal history and nonstop city energy in a way that feels both polished and easy to dive into. Spend your days moving between palace grounds, hanok-lined lanes, café-hopping neighborhoods, and the glow of night markets, where the pace shifts from calm and cultural to lively and social after dark. It’s a city that rewards curiosity, especially if you like good coffee, late meals, and wandering different districts for very different moods.

How many days do you need in Seoul?
5 days is the right length for a first trip to Seoul. That fits the palaces and Bukchon, Insadong and Myeongdong, a night market, Namsan Tower and a slow day in Hongdae. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to the DMZ or Suwon.
