There are tour groups that are for foreigners. They go to different provinces. Get you a different perspective.

You might try a food tour depending on your openess to Korean food?

If you take the KTX it is. Last time I was in Korea, I took a day trip from Seoul to Mokpo (which is in South Jeolla Province and on the coast near the southwest corner of the peninsula) and it was not bad. The train ride was, if I remember correctly, a little over an hour and a half. The KTX moves pretty quickly. The ride from Seoul to Busan is definitely longer, but if you take an early enough train to Busan in the morning and late enough train back, you could easily spend a most of the day in Busan. I would have specific places and things on your agenda before you go to Busan in order to maximize your time. Know what you are going to do and where it is before you get there rather than waste time figuring those things out or trying to find things.

Ehhh.... iffy about that. I'd advise not, for your own safety.

We got sinkholes opening up in the area because the guy who planned construction for the new skyscraper thereabouts was a dunce. Dunno if that issue's been solved by now.

I don't think you would need to rush or even feel rushed if you had a plan. It doesn't need to be down-to-the-minute schedule (unless you really try to see everything the city has to offer in one day), just knowing ahead of time where you intend to go and having a good enough idea where those things are and how to get around. Basically, don't just go to Busan with nothing particular on your agenda. When I went to Mokpo for the day, we moved at a fairly leisurely pace and didn't really even stay all day. We got there by 10:00 am and were leaving by 6:00 pm and we still managed to have lunch, climb a mountain, go to two small museums, and a few other sights. I really think KTX makes day trips feasible even as far from Seoul as Busan.

Yeah but Mokpo is SUPER tiny compared to Busan. You can kinda get away with moving a bit slower there.

True, but there is no need to try to see an entire city in one day, as I said. That is more good reason to choose what you plan to see before you get there. I'm sure a day trip would be worth the time if you want to do a few things and know where you plan to go before you arrive. I knew plenty of people who did it when I was in Korea.

If you are primarily going to be in Seoul and are interested in historical or cultural sites, I can recommend some things.

There are of course the five royal palaces from the Joseon Dynasty located in Seoul. I imagine you would have seen at least one (most likely Gyeongbokgung, as that's the typically the first one people see) if you've spent considerable time there before. The palaces have their own distinctiveness to them. Some (especially Gyeongbokgung) are laid out more symmetrically and with squares and rectangles and 90 degree angles governing the shape while a couple of them (Changgyeonggung and Changdeokgung) flow more with the landscape. The other two are much smaller though they have their own interesting history.

There are also Confucian shrines, remnants of the old the Seoul city walls in a few places (usually on mountains), and of course many great museums. Most museums are free too.
