Itinerary
South Korea's former presidential residence—once restricted, now open to the public. Drive past the Blue House to admire its iconic blue-tiled roof, scenic mountain backdrop. Please note that this stop may be skipped without prior notice due to unexpected traffic controls.
We can watch the guard-changing ceremony and explore the grounds in a traditional Hanbok(optional). On Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung is closed, we’ll visit Changdeokgung Palace instead.
Walk through the charming alleys of Bukchon Hanok Village, where traditional Korean houses sit quietly between city buildings. It’s the perfect spot for photos and a relaxing stroll through old Seoul.
Enjoy a Korean meal for lunch (your guide will recommend dishes and a local restaurant), then take a walk through Insadong’s lively streets filled with crafts, souvenirs, and traditional snacks.
Feel the spirit of Korean Buddhism at Jogyesa, one of the country's most important temples. Admire its colorful lanterns, ancient trees, and peaceful atmosphere in the heart of the city.
Snap beautiful photos along the stream, with Seoul's cityscape as your backdrop.
Enjoy traditional Korean dishes in the street food alley.

About Seoul
Royal palaces and hanok villages sit among glass towers, buzzing markets and late-night food streets in Seoul, South Korea's capital.
Five grand palaces from the Joseon dynasty grace the city, led by Gyeongbokgung, with its colourful changing of the guard, and Changdeokgung, whose Secret Garden is a serene escape. Between them, Bukchon Hanok Village preserves traditional tiled-roof houses on sloping lanes, and Insadong is known for tea houses, galleries and crafts.
Top-ranked sights in Seoul: Third Tunnel of Aggression, DMZ, Gyeongbokgung Palace.
