This time, we booked ourselves into a guesthouse near the Insadong district for 7 nights - the Insadong R Guesthouse. Here's the view from our room window.
This is the last post on Seoul. Below are some photos of events and outings that did not make it into the previous posts.

Bukchon Hanok Village, an area of traditional houses, is located between Gyeongbok and Cheondok palaces. Some of its streets are literally overrun with tourists.
The free National Museum was very cool. Among our favs were the Buddhist Art and Architecture displays, especially the video showing 3D reconstruction and visualization of Seokguram Grotto.
The Elevated Highway near Seoul Station has been turned into an Elevated Park, complete with public pianos. I was happy to get a bit of applause when I finished my impromptu performance. ;-)
We did not make it to the Great Southern Gate on our walk along the Seoul City Wall, but it's near Seoul Station. So here's my long lens shot from 2019.
Here's my father's close-up from 1954.
