23 days in Seoul Itinerary

One of east Asia's major cultural and financial centers, Seoul boasts five World Heritage Sites and a huge selection of museums, temples, shrines, palaces, parks, gardens, and glass-and-steel skyscrapers.

Venture out of the city with trips to DMZ Haemaru Village (in Paju), Yongin (Korean Folk Village & Everland) and Suwon (Seonamgangnu Pavilion & Hwaseong Fortress). Pack the 21st (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Lotte World. Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 4th (Thu) at Icheon Termeden. There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Gyeongbokgung Palace, get great views at N Seoul Tower, don't miss a visit to Myeongdong Shopping Street, and take in nature's colorful creations at Namsan Park.
