01 · What's inside

A worksheet directory for the whole trip.

Instead of a generic checklist, the workbook is split into specific tabs for the decisions travelers actually make in Seoul: where to eat, where to stay, what to say, how to move, what to do when plans change, and which local tools to use.

04 · Questions

Before you buy.

What file do I get?+

You get an instant .xlsx download with the full SeoulSheets workbook. Open it in Excel, Numbers, or upload it to Google Sheets.

Why Naver and Kakao instead of Google Maps?+

Google Maps is limited in Korea. Naver and Kakao are the map apps locals use, so the sheet links every relevant row to the tools that work on the ground.

How often is it updated?+

The sheet is maintained as a monthly update, so the structure and recommendations can keep improving over time.

How is dietary info verified?+

Halal, vegan, and GF notes are organized as filterable tags so you can quickly narrow down safer options before choosing a spot.

Are the stay tabs booking links?+

No. The lodging tabs organize researched hotel bases, hanok stays, and temple-stay candidates with booking caveats, but you should still check current rates, room type, and availability before reserving.

Do I need internet to use it?+

The spreadsheet itself works offline after download. You only need internet when opening map links or checking current hours.
