Hotel concierge vs LIT — which makes sense?
Hotel concierge is free, but you have to return to grab bags after sightseeing. If your hotel is on the outskirts or your next stop is the opposite direction, that costs time. LIT's Jongno store sits at the city center, so Gwangjang Market, DDP, and Insadong shopping all flow naturally — grab bags and head straight to the airport.
- Hotel concierge: free / must return / possible time-of-day limits
- LIT Jongno: ₩6,000/day / flexible route / pre-bookable / insured
