Instead of hoping on the subway every time, try walking around Seoul.
Begin your day by reaching Gyeongbokgung at 10a.m. for the first session of changing of the guards.
Then walk to Bukchon Hanok Village to have a look at the traditional houses. There are 8 suggested points for photo shooting. Do not miss those points.
Walk across to Insadong, the traditional street, to get some souvenir. There are usually some events on weekends too.
Walk to Gwangjang market, located just next to Jongno 5-ga station. Here you could find plenty of delicious Korean food sold by the older generation. Price are cheap too.
After eating, walk towards Dongdaemun then cross the stream to Dongdaemun History and Culture Park. If you want to walk along the stream, get out in between Jonggak and jongno 3-ga station on Samillo road and walk to Myongdong Cathedral.
Then walk through Myeongdong shopping street, famous for cheap cosmetics, and walk to Namdaemun market. A market where you can buy almost everything.
Eat dinner in one of the roadside store, Pojangmacha. Get some snacks and beer after dinner and walk up to Namsan tower (Seoul tower). Sit and chill there after the long walk.
*Last metro runs till midnight on weekdays and 11ish on weekends.
