4 days in Seoul Itinerary

One of east Asia's major cultural and financial centers, Seoul boasts five World Heritage Sites and a huge selection of museums, temples, shrines, palaces, parks, gardens, and glass-and-steel skyscrapers.

Step off the beaten path and head to 3D Black Art Museum and Shinsegae Dept. Store Main. Take a break from Seoul with a short trip to National Gwacheon Science Museum in Gwacheon, about 42 minutes away. There's still lots to do: examine the collection at Grevin Museum, take in the awesome beauty at Inwangsan Mountain, buy something for everyone on your list at GOTO Mall, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Seoul Central Mosque.
