Going up
Namsan, once. The hanok, the cable car and the tower are one ascent. Do not add Lotte World Tower or 63 Building. A long queue means walk, or another day. After the tower, close in Myeongdong. If you eat, one Namdaemun meal, then stop — not Gwangjang, and not the Dongdaemun night market. Do not go on to Jamsil the same day. In rain, the Seoul Museum of Art. Save the cable car and the tower for a clear day. Cable car or the path, not both as a project. Once you are up, come down. Do not decide on Jamsil from the tower. Myeongdong is the close, not another shopping session. If you buy cosmetics, pick one category. Once that is done, the way down is the end. Do not transfer to Dongdaemun.
