🧳 Your first solo Seoul trip: three easy Stray Kids days
Everything here works if you're on your own. Each day stays in one part of the city, the meals come as single bowls, and the last day leaves room for your flight.
Step by step
- Day 1 · Myeongdong, Insadong and the riverStart at Star Avenue in Lotte Myeongdong, free and open from 09:30 (Euljiro 1-ga Station, Line 2, exit 8). Walk about 15 minutes to Cafe Wednesday in Insadong, the tea house from Felix's vlog, open from 10:30. End at Yeouido Hangang Park, tied to the 'S-Class' video, with convenience-store ramyeon (Yeouinaru Station, Line 5, exit 3).
- Day 2 · JYP, KSPO DOME and SeokchonTake your photo of JYP Center from across the street and move on; you can't go inside. Next door, Pujuok serves seolleongtang for ₩14,000. Take Line 5 to Olympic Park Station, exit 3, and walk through the park to KSPO DOME. Then take Line 9 to Seokchon, exit 8, for ₩10,000 sundae soup at Hoseokchon, with pudding at Jaehaeseok across the street.
- Day 3 · Albums, then your flightLeave your suitcase at the T-Luggage counter in Hongik Univ. Station (B1, exits 3–4; 09:00–22:00, small bag from ₩3,000 for 4 hours on weekdays). WITHMUU is on the 2nd floor of AK Plaza by exit 5, open from 11:00 on weekdays and 10:30 on weekends. AREX all-stop trains run from this station to both Gimpo and Incheon airports.
- Eating alone without the awkward momentPujuok and Hoseokchon both serve single bowls and are open 24 hours, so they also work if you land late. Some restaurants, especially barbecue places, may ask solo diners to order two portions. Ask '1인분 돼요?' at the door before you sit down.
- If something goes wrongCall 1330, the Korea Travel Helpline, for help in English, Japanese or Chinese (+82-2-1330 from abroad). Call 112 for police and 119 for an emergency. Save these before you leave the airport.
