If you're only going to be in Seoul for a few days this pocket guide is sufficient. With this book, you can orient yourself and get an idea of the things you can do in each neighborhood. It also provides a few walking tours, so if you don't have time to plan out an itinerary, that can be very convenient. The only complaint I have about these digital travel guides is that it isn't convenient to flip from the text to the maps, so the reading experience isn't that smooth.

While most of this information can be found elsewhere pretty easily, this proved to be a good reference and resource for planning our recent trip to Korea, filled with tips, tricks and ideas for things to see and do. I suspect it would be particularly helpful if you don't have the time to just wander and explore for yourself after you get there.

It accomplished exactly what it was meant to. I was very prepared before I visited the city!

Great selection of highlights organised by neighbourhood, with walking tours for each district and tips on where to go in each of these districts. Both in terms of size and weight, it's small enough to take with you in a small bag or even a pocket.
