All-Night Seoul Culture Course

Duration: Day trip (including late night)

Start with traditional market street food, then move through a retro alley, shopping, a late-night wholesale market, and finish at a jjimjilbang — a day that compresses Korea's uniquely 'all-night' culture into one route. Napping at the final jjimjilbang stop means you can keep going until dawn without booking a hotel.
