Three ideas for your trip
Gyeongbokgung
Start with Gyeongbokgung. Check visiting information, then explore the surrounding area without rushing.
Insadong
Give Insadong its own space in your plan. Compare its location with your base before combining it with other stops.
Namsan
Keep time for Namsan. Confirm access for your dates and have an alternative if plans change.
Common questions
How many days should I plan?
A starting point is 4–6 days. Add time for arrival, transfers and a slower pace. This is a planning suggestion, not a minimum requirement.
Can I visit without a car?
Check transport from your accommodation to Gyeongbokgung, Insadong and Namsan, including the return journey. Some outings may need an organised transfer. Do not assume all three fit into one day.
How much will the trip cost?
Prices depend on dates, room choices and activities. Use actual quotes in the budget calculator instead of treating a destination average as your price.
