Seoul — Rainy-day alternatives

When rain changes a plan in Seoul, shorten outdoor sections rather than forcing the original route. Compare indoor cultural stops, covered dining and a slower meal around Myeongdong / Jongno / Hongdae; check the actual opening day before leaving.

Gwangjang Market · mandu · bibimbap can provide a food-focused alternative. Allow more time for wet sidewalks and transfers from Seoul Station / Yongsan. A weather cancellation may follow different rules from a voluntary change, so read your booked activity’s terms.
