Plan a loose route in advance

Start early to beat traffic
Leave before 9:00 AM for palaces and markets to avoid heavier mid-morning and evening congestion.
Carry small cash
Many market stalls and teahouses accept cash only or prefer it for small purchases and tips.
Expect the driver to focus on transport
Drivers provide English communication and navigation but typically do not act as in-depth historical guides—book a separate guide if you want detailed interpretive tours.
Comfortable walking shoes
Seoul’s sightseeing involves short stretches on pavement, alleys, and palace grounds; good shoes keep walks enjoyable.
Light daypack
Carries water, wallet, camera, and any museum tickets while leaving your hands free during market browsing.
Portable phone charger
Navigation, translation apps, and mobile tickets drain batteries during a full-day city tour.
Compact umbrella or lightweight rain jacket
