FAMILY & HAPPYNESS
Use this N Seoul Tower guide to decide whether the tower belongs on your first Seoul itinerary, when to go, how to get there, and where it fits with your hotel base and evening plans.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is worth adding to most first Seoul itineraries, but the best plan depends on timing, palace fatigue, hanbok interest, nearby neighborhoods, and whether your hotel base makes northern Seoul easy.
Lotte World can be an easy Seoul theme-park day if you plan it around subway access, indoor backup time, hotel location, and whether you actually want a full park day.
