This information will especially help newbies. Take a look at the link and how close many sites are to each other. It actually is an easy walk and it costs very little to get into the various sites. There are also plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and even a Mr. Donut along the way. Plus you walk through Gwanghwamun Square and you are very close to Insa-Dong and Cheonggyecheon stream.

I'm sure one would pick and choose which ones they would want to go to.. you're close to everything once you're in the downtown section..

These "walking tours" are quite commonly included in tourist brochure information when you go to Japan. Korea should create more of them. They're quite handy if you're stuck for something to do for a day.

It's also good to see some cooperation and coordination for a tourist plan that includes more than one location listed. Many tourists like to visit as many sites as possible in one day.

Just have dog for lunch and eel for dinner the day before, and you'll have tons of stamina!*

This site has a lot of walking tours around many different parts of Seoul. I haven't really done the tours they've listed, but I've been to most of the places and they look good.
