Seoul’s Sunlit Gems☀️

Seoul came through with serious iconic vibes 🇰🇷💫 If you want epic palaces, stylish campus strolls, and city lights in one jam-packed day, this itinerary is for you! Here’s how to crush a full Seoul day (and snap some fire photos):

Start your morning at Gyeongbokgung Palace (161 Sajik-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, open from 9am, closed Tuesdays). Pro tip: Rent traditional hanbok costumes at a shop nearby—admission is free if you wear one, and you’ll totally level-up your IG game with those royal vibes! Arrive early to beat the crowds and get playful with the palace guards in their historical outfits.

Next, make your way to Ewha Womans University (52 Ewhayeodae-gil, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, open weekdays 9am–5pm). This campus is a visual feast—think ultra-modern glass buildings framed by cherry blossom trees and cozy, indie cafés just outside the gates. Grab a latte and explore the boutiques lining the Ewha area for affordable and super-cute K-fashion.

End your evening at Gwanghwamun Square (172 Sejong-daero, Jongno-gu), where the city really glows at night. The illuminated statues and fountains are perfect for a night walk and some moody snaps of Seoul Tower in the background. The area’s food stalls are ideal for a final snack—definitely try tteokbokki or hotteok for dessert!

Getting around is a breeze with Seoul’s Metro—pick up a T-money card for easy tap-and-go rides. Cash is king at street stalls, so keep some KRW handy. Weather can shift fast, so pack a light layer!
