Gwangjang Market
Founded 1905, very clean and full of locals: tteokbokki, sundae, fish cake soup, and live octopus at market restaurants.
Bukchon Hanok Village
Historic hanok lanes and old craftsmen, with a nice view over the modern skyline.
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Largest and prettiest of Seoul's 5 palaces; entry is free if you come dressed in hanbok, and Chuseok day is free anyway.
Starfield COEX Mall
Big shopping haul here at Uniqlo, ABC-Mart and Bath & Body Works, in the same mall as Starfield Library.
Starfield Library
Inside COEX Mall: 50,000+ books and 4,000 magazines on giant shelves, with cafés and reading corners.
Lotte World Adventure
Indoor/outdoor park with rides for all ages; add the Magic Pass – doubles the price but saves hours of queuing.
Myeongdong Street
Stalls line the main shopping street: spicy rice cakes, halal beef skewers, torched-marshmallow ice cream cubes.
Olive Young Myeongdong Global
Prices are genuinely cheap with a huge range; a full bag cost them ~$160 before the 7% tax refund.
왕비집
One of the city's top KBBQ spots with a long queue – book a table ahead to skip it; banchan arrive while meat grills.
Ikseon-dong Hanok Street
Narrow hanok lanes full of boutique shops, designed cafés and restaurants – the definition of Instagrammable.
UH Suite Central
Family-friendly apartments with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a laundry room in the building; not luxurious but solid.
북촌손만두
Hole-in-the-wall for handmade mandu with stools at counters; expect ~30 min queue, and nearly everything has meat.
Conrad Seoul
Projected 6 cm chefs 'cook' on your table in the hotel's Italian restaurant; a cute meal for kids.
Oneul Haru Hanbok
One of many hanbok rental shops around Gyeongbokgung; worth it for the experience even when palace entry is free.
The 3rd Tunnel
Walk the tunnel in a helmet to the point where you can see the exit on the North Korean side.
VIP Travel DMZ Tour
Only possible via a licensed company; interesting, but with under 5 days in Seoul there are better things in the city.
Dora Observatory
Upper terrace has binoculars toward North Korea but no photos allowed; visibility is poor on grey days.
Imjingak
Memorial park for the war's victims, home to the Freedom Bridge once used for crossing from North to South.
K-Star Road
Kilometre-long K-pop tribute street where each bear statue represents a famous K-pop group.
