7 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.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Myeongdong Shopping Street and Namdaemun Market. Spend the 15th (Thu) exploring nature at Bukhansan National Park. Pack the 18th (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Lotte World. There's still lots to do: explore the historical opulence of Gyeongbokgung Palace, don't miss a visit to Bongeunsa Temple, learn about all things military at War Memorial of Korea, and take an in-depth tour of National Museum of Korea.

Expect a daytime high around 32°C in June, and nighttime lows around 21°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 18th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
