1 Week in Seoul 🇰🇷 | What to Do, See, Eat in 7 Days (History, Cafes, Fun Spots!)

🧳 7 Days in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷 | Complete Travel Itinerary for First-Time Visitors & Family Trips

This was a special winter trip to Seoul, South Korea with my family! Although I’ve been to Seoul before, it was my parents' and brother’s first time, so we planned a relaxed 7-day itinerary, perfect for first-timers and ideal for traveling with elderly. ❄️🇰🇷

We explored a blend of history, nature, food, and fun activities — avoiding too much walking and making sure there was something for everyone to enjoy at a slow pace 😊🧳

🌸 Our Seoul Itinerary Highlights:

🏯 Gyeongbokgung Palace & Cheong Wa Dae (The Blue House) — a walk through royal and presidential history
🍜 Gwangjang Market — street food heaven with bindaetteok, mayak gimbap & more
🛳️ Eland Han River Cruise — chill vibes, Seoul skyline, and live music
☕ NUDAKE Seongsu — surreal café with edible art
📚 Starfield Library — a dreamy, Instagram-worthy book haven
🐶 Samoyed Dog Café in Hongdae — yes, real fluffy clouds you can pet!
🛍️ Myeongdong & Seongsu-dong — shopping, beauty pop-ups, and unique cafés
🌆 Seoul Sky Observatory — breathtaking city views from Korea’s tallest building

🍽️ Most memorable eats:
🥞 Hotteok in Hongdae — crispy outside, gooey inside
🧇 Waffle at Eland Buffet — sweet treat before the cruise
🍲 Ashley Buffet — surprise lunch stop with amazing variety
🥢 Odeng & noodles at Gwangjang Market stall — simple but so comforting
