For a less intense hike with great views, try the trails around Bugaksan Mountain. It's still challenging, but less steep than some of the others in Namsan.

Just wear decent shoes – you'll be glad you did!

Yeah, the Children's Museum at the National Museum of Korea can be a sensory overload! I felt the same way once. Try the museum's main building itself – wander through the calligraphy exhibits. There's usually a quieter atmosphere in those sections, especially on weekdays. The sheer beauty of the artwork is surprisingly calming. You could also explore the temporary exhibition halls; sometimes they have smaller, less crowded displays. Just check the museum's website before you go to see what's on. Good luck finding your zen again!
