The fourth day visits the National Folk Museum, Unhyeongung Palace and Jogyesa Temple, then crosses to Itaewon and the National Museum of Korea. It suits travellers who like to understand what they see as well as photograph it.

Four days cover the palaces, the city centre and Hongdae, then Gwangjang Market, Dongdaemun Design Plaza and the Lotte World Tower. The fourth day adds the National Folk Museum, Unhyeongung Palace, Jogyesa Temple, Itaewon and the National Museum of Korea.
Four days are usually enough to see the main sights without rushing, including two of the city's large museums. The fifth day of the longer plan adds Bongeunsa Temple and Lotte World.
The National Museum of Korea usually takes 120 to 240 minutes, so the fourth day keeps it for the afternoon. The National Folk Museum, visited in the morning, usually takes 90 to 150 minutes. As of 1 Nov 2026.
