Day 1 – Arrival in Seoul (Ease Into the Cold)
Arrive, check in, and keep the day intentionally light.
Spend the evening walking a local neighborhood near your accommodation. Winter Seoul is best experienced unplanned—follow warm lights, busy interiors, and fogged windows.
Dinner should be hot, filling, and close by. No sightseeing. Let your body adjust.
