Seoul & Nami Island Explorer

Package overview

A five-day introduction to South Korea that keeps the travelling light. You stay in central Seoul and use the metro plus a private car for the two out-of-town days.

The itinerary balances the big sights – Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village and N Seoul Tower – with free time in Myeongdong and Hongdae for shopping and street food.

This sample package suits first-time visitors travelling with family or friends who prefer two or three activities a day rather than a packed schedule.

Trip highlights

• Gyeongbokgung Palace with hanbok rental
• Nami Island and Gapyeong day trip
• Bukchon Hanok Village photo walk
• N Seoul Tower cable car and observation deck
