And by the way, this is just one option to enjoy this part of destination. There are actually other options you can visit, foremost of which is the Petite France that is often paired with Nami Island. Is it possible to include ALL the attractions in just one day? It is…. but it will be very tiring and you will be in constant hurry to finish exploring the site. I don’t know if you’re that type who enjoys that kind of travel. If you ask me, you have to drop one or two sites to make your trip more relaxed. One option is to leave Seoul around 5:00 A.M or leave the area at night, but you have to have an extended tour for that option.
