Activity itinerary

Gyeongbokgung Palace

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Gyeongbokgung Palace, built in 1395, is the main and largest of the Five Grand Palaces of the Joseon Dynasty. Located in the heart of Seoul against the backdrop of Bugaksan Mountain, it stands as an enduring symbol of Korea's royal heritage and history.Famous for its grand main throne hall (Geunjeongjeon) and the picturesque Gyeonghoeru Pavilion resting over a tranquil pond, the palace beautifully showcases traditional Neo-Confucian architecture and serene landscape design. Though damaged during foreign invasions and colonial rule, extensive restoration efforts have brought back its original grandeur. Today, it offers visitors a vivid glimpse into Korea's past with its daily guard-changing ceremonies and rich cultural history amidst a modern cityscape.

Bukchon Hanok Village

  • 1h 30m
Bukchon Hanok Village, nestled between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces in Seoul, is a picturesque neighborhood renowned for its hundreds of traditional Korean houses, known as hanok. Dating back to the Joseon Dynasty, this area was historically home to high-ranking government officials and nobility. Today, the village offers a vivid glimpse into Korea's architectural heritage with its stone-paved alleys, tiled roofs, and wooden structures. While it remains a living residential neighborhood, many hanok have been thoughtfully transformed into cultural centers, artisan workshops, tea houses, and guesthouses. Set against the striking contrast of Seoul’s modern skyline, Bukchon Hanok Village is a quintessential destination for experiencing the quiet charm and timeless beauty of traditional Korea.

Gwangjang Market

  • 1h 30m
Gwangjang Market, established in 1905, is one of South Korea's oldest and largest traditional street markets. Located in the heart of Seoul, it is world-famous for its vibrant atmosphere and authentic Korean street food, offering popular local delicacies such as bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes), mayak gimbap, and fresh yukhoe (beef tartare). Beyond food, the market features a lively textile and vintage clothing section, making it an essential cultural and culinary destination. Notice: Meals are not Excluded in the Price
