🇨🇳 Free Shanghai stopover on the return leg
15 h 10 m on the ground at Shanghai Pudong — long enough for the Bund at dusk, a Shanghai dinner, and a few hours of sleep between Seoul and Venice.
The return arrives Pudong at 10:10 and the long-haul to Venice doesn’t leave until 01:20 the next morning — 15 hours 10 minutes on the ground. That’s a full day plus the early evening window — easily enough for a proper Shanghai visit. EU passport holders (Italian, French, German, Dutch, Spanish, etc.) qualify for China’s 30-day visa-free programme (extended through 31 December 2026), so no transit visa paperwork needed — just walk through immigration with your onward boarding pass.
Realistic 15h plan: Metro Line 2 from PVG into Pudong (45 minutes for ¥7) or maglev to Longyang Road (8 minutes at 431 km/h, ¥50) → drop bag at a hotel near the Bund or in Jing’an → late afternoon walk along the Bund with the 52-building European trading-house architecture, crossing the Huangpu by ¥2 Huangpu Ferry at dusk for the iconic Pudong skyline view → dinner in the French Concession — xiaolongbao at Jia Jia Tang Bao, drunken chicken in shikumen lanes, or Michelin-starred Cantonese at Yongfoo Élite → ~5 hours of sleep at a Bund-area hotel → metro back to PVG for the 01:20 departure.
📖 The full Shanghai City Guide 2026 covers the three-layered city (1842 concession Bund / 1990 Pudong / 2022 lockdown aftermath), the Top 12 attractions, where to stay near the Bund for a one-night stop, what to eat (Taian Table holds Shanghai’s only Michelin three-star; ten Bib Gourmand options sit in the ¥150-250 band), and a Best Day Under ¥350 (≈€41) itinerary built for exactly this kind of stopover.

🌍 About Seoul
Seoul moves fast and stays up late, but it keeps its old soul close. Wander the curved tile roofs of Bukchon Hanok Village and the palace grounds of Gyeongbokgung, where the changing of the guard plays out in full colour, then ride the river breeze along the Han at sunset. Myeongdong overflows with skincare shops and street snacks, Hongdae pulses with buskers and student energy, and Itaewon serves the world on a plate. Eat your way through Gwangjang Market's mung-bean pancakes and mayak gimbap, fire up a tabletop Korean barbecue, and end the night over fried chicken and beer, the beloved combination locals call chimaek. Hike Bukhansan for granite peaks, or soak in a jjimjilbang. It is restless, stylish, and deeply welcoming.
