    My additional tips as a Korean local : <br>1. Eunpyeong hanok village instead of overcrowded Bukchon<br>2. Sangsu, Mangwon, Hapjeong (+riverside parks there) instead of overcrowded Hong dae

    Korean living in Seoul here. Camden definitely has a good eye and great taste. Two things I absolutely recommend everyone add to their to-do list:<br><br>1. Picnic, run, or bike by the Han River. It&apos;s a great way to observe how people in Seoul chill and get a panoramic view of the city.<br>2. Mountain climbing. There are many mountains inside and around the city. If you don&apos;t have much time, do a short climb up Namsan Mountain to Namsan Tower. It offers arguably the best view of Seoul.<br><br>Worth mentioning:<br><br>Dongmyo (if you&apos;re into vintage items), Freedom town/Hannam (hilly area with trendy shops and restaurants), Jamsil (for shopping, tallest tower in Seoul, amusement park and the Seokchon lake)

    Palaces: Go as late as possible because then you will get to make pictures without outer tourists. You just need to be one of the latest to leave.

    David, this guide is absolute gold! Seriously, it is spot on—you completely nailed the real-deal travel details that actually make or break a trip. From navigating the transit matrix like a total pro to picking up on those low-key cultural nuances that most people miss, your recommendations are so dialed in and insanely useful. Huge props for putting together such an epic breakdown. Anyone heading to Seoul is ridiculously lucky to have this cheat code in their pocket! Keep bringing that top-tier energy and killin&apos; it! 🙌🔥✨
