Seoul In 5 Days: Itinerary And Tips Shared By A Second-Time Visitor

While I don’t travel that often—maybe once a year if I can—my mom is a huge traveler. She makes it a point to go somewhere at least once a year. So recently, we took to Seoul at the end of November, right as autumn was ending. Just a few days after we left, there was a big snowstorm, so we managed to time it perfectly. While I love winter, my mom isn't a huge fan of the cold, so we got very lucky. We saw the beautiful autumn leaves, and the weather was great—not too cold and no snow yet. It really felt like the perfect season to visit. This wasn’t our first trip to Seoul—we had visited back in 2017 or 2018 during the winter in January. What was different this time was that we decided to join a tour group to cover more ground and visit the places we missed, like the palaces. If you're planning your own trip, keep reading for a detailed itinerary of our five-day trip to Seoul, along with tips and recommendations.
