We’re doing a “layover” this October in Seoul for about 36 hours. Suggestions on what to see, do, and eat? First time visitor and love all things delicious & skincare/spa!

Lotte duty free app: Korea, I fear, has perfected the art and science of consumerism. They make it easy, fun, rewarding, addicting. Yes Olive young is a whole experience but I get too overwhelmed. This app is one where you can fill a cart and then pick up at the airport (air side! So it doesn’t need to take up suitcase space lol). There’s a pickup space in ICN where you scan your passport/boarding pass and then they pack it all up for you. Extremely efficient and dangerous for me and my layovers!

jjimjilbang/korean spa: the perfect place to recover from your long haul flight! shower, soak in the baths, relax in the different rooms, and eat at the restaurant. you will be revived. they are all around so just find one close to where you want to stay! you can even sleep overnight at these spas if you don’t have a hotel booked yet.
