Don’t Start Your Day Too Early

Don’t start your day too early, especially in Seoul. Doing so will only lead you to places that will be crowded with like-minded tourists who flock to the temples or famous landmarks early. Visiting these same spots later in the afternoon will allow you a more relaxed pace, and even see a wider variety of vendors. This is also the time when you see more of the locals, so do as they do. Seoul comes alive at nighttime and the Korean style of going out is usually in three rounds: dinner, bar or noreabang, then another food stop. So rest easy and sleep in so you can partake.
