The National Museum in Seoul has a fantastic collection, and spending an entire day there soaking it all in is easy.

When I first moved to South Korea, exploring the local culture alone was a bit overwhelming. On one of my first days here, I also hired a local guide to help me learn about the culture and the story behind every famous destination. I found hiring the guide to be extremely worth it https://gowithguide.com/blog/why-hiring-a-private-tour-guide-in-south-korea-is-worth-every-won-5724

My guide provided so much valuable context and insight. He helped me feel more comfortable navigating famous sites and everyday cultural experiences.

Also, when I'm not busy, I like wandering neighborhood streets on weekends. You'll always find something interesting happening, like taekwondo demos, traditional dances or craft markets.
