If you're looking for something more unique and truly Korean—beyond the usual shopping and sightseeing—consider spending a few hours (or even a whole night!) at a jjimjilbang (찜질방). This is one of Korea’s most beloved cultural experiences and a refreshing break from your travel schedule.

A jjimjilbang is much more than a traditional sauna. Popular spots like Dragon Hill Spa, Siloam Sauna, and Sparex offer an entire world of relaxation and fun:

• Multiple themed hot and cold baths

• Herbal steam rooms, salt rooms, and charcoal kilns

• Large heated rooms where you lie down and unwind

• Massage chairs and body scrubs

• Nap and sleeping zones (you can literally stay overnight!)

• Traditional Korean snacks like sweet rice drink (sikhye) and baked eggs

• Family-friendly spaces where adults and kids can relax together

It’s clean, affordable, and open 24 hours—perfect if you want to recharge after walking all day or need something cozy during winter.

If you want, I can recommend jjimjilbangs closest to your hotel, or specific rooms/activities you should try on your first visit.
