3 Day Seoul DIY Itinerary: Best Things to Do in Seoul, South Korea

If you are off to South Korea, then don’t you dare miss the capital, Seoul. Seoul is everything you need to see in a country; the traditional historical side, modern and advancing side, and the natural beauty. Go off to the Palaces, the gorgeous Han River, Markets, and skyscraper buildings of mega-industries. To see all of that, here’s a 3 Day Seoul Itinerary that could help you cross everything off your list.

Remember, Filipino citizens, need a South Korea Tourist Visa to enter South Korea unless you are exempt, according to the embassy’s announcement. However, it’s pretty easy as they don’t have an interview and if you have complete documents.

When you go to Seoul, I recommend buying a Discover Seoul Pass. It costs KRW 39,900 for a day, KRW 55,000 for 2 days, and KRW 70,000 for 3 days. It can get you to enter attractions, tours, and other perks for FREE. I know it’s quite expensive to look at first, but if you follow this itinerary, it’s going to be worth it if you purchase a 3 day one. Check out also my detailed article of the pros-cons of buying the Discover Seoul Pass.

3 Day Seoul, South Korea DIY Itinerary

Day 1: Seoul Itinerary

Morning

• Hanbok Rental at HANBOKNAM
• Gyeongbokgung Palace
• National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art
• Bukchon Hanok Village

Start your day on the traditional side of Korea and go to Hanboknam to rent Korean Traditional Wear. With that, you can enter palaces or shrines for free! Off you go to the Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest of 5 palaces in Seoul. After that, you can go across and see the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which was also featured in Korean dramas. You can walk to Bukchon Hanok Village to see traditional houses from 600 years ago. There are also shops nearby so you can eat lunch there. You can return the Hanbok too.

If you want to ask why I don’t suggest going to another palace, it’s because they are quite similar to each other. One is enough. However, if you don’t like the other one, I suggest Changdeokgung Palace. It has a gorgeous secret garden!

Afternoon

• Grevin Museum
• L’atelier
• [Alternative] Running Man Experience
• [Alternative] Alive Museum
