What’s inside — all 13 pages of it
✅ 30 / 14 / 7-day prep checklists
Entry rules, eSIM, bookings, the things that genuinely reward starting early — tick-box format.
🗺️ The full 7-day Seoul itinerary
Day-by-day, grouped by neighborhood so you’re not criss-crossing the city — palaces, Hongdae, the DMZ, Gangnam, the Han River.
📱 The 6 apps that actually matter
Including the #1 surprise nobody warns you about: Google Maps barely navigates in Korea — and what locals use instead.
💰 Money, done right
Cards vs cash, the one transit card to buy on day one, which ATMs accept foreign cards, and why you should never tip.
🍜 Food guide + ordering help
What to eat, where, and how ordering actually works — banchan refills, self-serve water, table-side chopstick drawers.
🗣️ 20 survival phrases + budget planner + packing list
Pronunciation included, fill-in budget table, and the packing items first-timers forget (socks without holes — you’ll see why).
A real page from inside
This is an actual page — days 1–3 of the Seoul itinerary. No stock-photo filler, no padding: every page is built to be used, ticked off, and scribbled on.
Where information changes over time (like Korea’s entry-authorization rules), the planner tells you exactly which official site to verify on instead of printing something that might be stale by the time you fly. That’s the same honesty standard as everything else we publish.
Made for you if…
- It’s your first (or second) trip to Korea
- You want a plan without spending 20 hours on Reddit
- You like ticking boxes more than reading essays
Skip it if…
- You’ve already been to Korea several times
- You want a 300-page encyclopedia — this is deliberately 13 pages
- You genuinely enjoy the 20 hours of Reddit (fair!)
