AT A GLANCE
For trips beyond Seoul, count the round trip and last train first.
Times are generous ranges for a typical weekday daytime transit route. Transfers, crowding, and service work vary, so recheck a live map and the operator notice before departure.

TWO-STOP IDEAS
Connect two distinct urban stories instead of collecting nearby sights.
Gyeongbokgung → Samseong
Read palace order and Seochon in the morning, then compare COEX and Bongeunsa in modern Gangnam.
Jongno 5-ga → Dongdaemun History & Culture Park
See Gwangjang as a working market before following the stream toward DDP’s layered history and evening architecture.
Incheon / Suwon / Jeongbalsan
Do not combine them. Give one full day to port history, a fortress city, or a planned lake district.
FAQ
Even within Seoul, one or two stations per day is enough. Treat Incheon, Suwon, and Goyang as separate day trips.
Incheon, Central Park, and Jeongbalsan have direct rail access. Suwon Hwaseong requires a local bus after Suwon Station.
Choose Gyeongbokgung for heritage, Myeongdong for arrival-day basics, or Ichon and Samseong for weather-resistant indoor time.
