Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

This matches my experience. South Korea is great value for money.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
