How to plan a Korea trip that isn't exhausting
The mistake nearly every first itinerary makes is geographic. Seoul's sights are spread across the river and the subway ride between two “must-sees” can be 50 minutes. Group each day by district, not by how badly you want to see something: palaces and Bukchon and Insadong are one day because they're within walking distance of each other; Gangnam and Seongsu are a different day entirely.
Three to four stops a day is a full day once you add meals and getting lost. Five is a route march. The dashed line on the map above is there to make zig-zagging obvious — if your day crosses the city twice, reorder it.
About the directions
The distance shown between stops is a straight line, so treat it as a rough sense of scale rather than travel time. For the real thing, the transit / walk / taxi buttons hand the leg to Naver Map, which is the only source that gets Korean public transport right — there is no public API for it, and we would rather send you somewhere accurate than invent a number.
A practical rule while you plan: in Seoul, anything under about 1.5 km is faster walked than waiting for a transfer, and the subway beats taxis at rush hour almost every time.
