South Korea has long been in my list in my countries to visit. Whenever I watch kdramas, both modern and historical in setting, I’m always amazed at how much the country offers. However, as it is a country that requires a visa, it makes it seem impossible for me to go. I honestly never thought I’d be able to visit South Korea in my 20s but as the song from Pinnochio says,
“When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you. If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme. When you wish upon a star as dreamers do”.
So, enough of the drama and let me share with you my detailed itinerary during my five days and six nights South Korea trip.

I always prefer hostels or guesthouses when I travel. Not only do they come cheap but they also give me a local experience that I think I cannot get from hotels.
For this trip, we chose Yooginong Guesthouse. It’s located in a quiet neighbourhood in Mangwon, Hongdae and surrounded by a number of food places. It’s also near Mangwon Hangang River Park where you can go biking.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am that we chose this guesthouse. The host was kind enough to wait for us when we arrived past midnight. Our room was huge and was cleaned everyday. The guesthouse offers free WiFi, towels, toiletries, use of the kitchen, bikes and basic breakfast consisting of cereals, milk, jams and bread.

This palace is at the northern side of Seoul and is the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty. I recommend joining the free English tour to really appreciate the entire place. Aside from its grand architecture and design, you’ll be able to know how each building and how every detail of the design entails its own meaning. We were also taught about Palace customs, practices and some intriguing details about the roles of being a royalty (e.g. how the Queen would only see the King once a month).
At the back of the Palace, where the tour ends, you’ll see a building that houses the National Folk Museum of Korea.
Directions: Walk straight to the opposite direction from Anguk Station. You’ll immediately see a corner with so many tourists and you’ll know you’re there. You’ll also see signs that you’re near the area.

We got lost along the way trying to look for the famous village as we went to a different direction thanks to Waze. However, we went through many corners but found ourselves in the middle of a street with quaint cafés and stores.
Bukchon Hanok Village is home to a great number of traditional houses dating back to the Joseon Dynasty. These old houses are called “Hanok”. At first, I really thought they are just preserved houses but it was there that I knew that locals are still living in the area. You’ll see signs everywhere warning visitors to lower down their voices because although it’s a tourist spot, it’s still a residential area. However, some of the houses were already converted into café
Directions: From Anguk Station, travel to Dongguk University Station Line 3 and take Exit 6. Turn right and walk until you see the bus stop. Ride Namsan Bus Circular No. 2/3/5.

You can do a number of things while in N Seoul Tower. You can visit the observatory where you’ll experience a 360 degree view of South Korea’s beautiful skyline, purchase a love lock for the love bridge/trees, visit Ssentoy Museum and Hello Kitty World or dine in one of the many restaurants in the building. The place is also perfect for dates. The next time I’ll come back, I’ll make sure to bring my
Directions: From Mangwon Station, transfer at Hyochang Park Station to Gyeongi Jungang Line. Travel to Mangu Station and transfer to Gyeongchun Line for Gapyeong Station (108 minutes). Go immediately to the Bus Stop in front of the station for the Gapyeong Shuttle Bus.
The shuttle bus offers unlimited rides around certain Gapyeong stops including famous tourist attractions like the Gapyeong Rail Park, Nami Island, Petite France and The Garden of Morning Calm.

If you want to start with the Garden of Morning Calm, which is the farthest destination from Gapyeong station, I suggest getting off at Cheongpyeong station instead. Also, grab a Gapyeong Shuttle Bus brochure and take note of the time the bus will arrive at each place so you can plan well how long you’ll spend in each place.
One day was not enough to grasp the beauty of these places. I never imagined commuting would take so long. If I could turn back time, I wished we took off at dawn so we could have more time in this beautiful county. I could easily spend a whole day just in the Garden of Morning Calm.
At Gapyeong Station, there’s a small snack corner at the right side of the entrance that I highly recommend. They sell popular Korean street food like soondae, odeng and tteokbokki at affordable prices and that are yummy, too. Don’t forget to grab some snacks before heading back!

Of course, you shouldn’t miss the ever crowd favourite Korean chicken when in South Korea. So, after the long trip, we ate at Dasarang Chicken which was near our guesthouse and had a plateful of three flavoured chicken: Spicy, Korean and Buttered. Instead of the common chicken and beer combination, we opted to pair our chicken with Korea’s famous soju. If you’re not used to drinking, please drink soju moderately and have someone to share it with. You seriously don’t want to get knocked out and sleep on the streets.
Also, one of our funniest and most unforgettable experiences happened that night at the chicken restaurant. You see, after our orders were served, we were given the check holder with the bill inside already. As much as we tried to recall in kdramas on how they pay their bills, we just couldn’t. We also tried observing other diners but most did not bill out yet. So what we did was, we left our money inside the check holder and left. A few seconds later, the staff went running after us and asked for our payment. Imagine all eyes from the other diners (the restaurant was quite packed that night). It was so embarrassing. I wanted to shrink for a moment. We then explained that we placed our money on the table inside the check holder which she then checked and confirmed. What a way to end the night, right?
Directions: From Mangwon Station, head to Samgakji Station. Transfer to Blue Line and head to Hyewa Station Exit 2. Turn left at the park, past the Arco Arts Center and continuing until Dongsung-gil. Make a right turn onto Dongsung-gil and then a left onto Guldari-gil. Following Guldari-gil will take you up to Naksan Park and continue on through the heart of Ihwa-dong Mural Village before turning into Yulgok-ro 19-gil, making its famous P-turn and running back down to the southern end of Daehakno. Look for signs pointing to Naksan Park and the Mural Village.

If you don’t want to carry around your shopping bags, you can rent a locker found in the stations for as low as ₩2, 000. The smallest locker is good enough for four shopping bags.
We went to Seoul Station supposedly to shop at Lotte Mart. However, I wasn’t able to read that it’s closed every second and fourth Sunday of the month.
Seoullo 7017 is one of Seoul’s newest chill places where both locals and tourists come. It used to be an elevated highway built in the 1970s but has now been transformed into a beautiful sky garden and pedestrian walkway connecting the eastern and western sides of the city. There are fountains, gardens, cafés and platform for performances found here.
