Activity itinerary

Gyeongbokgung Palace

1h 30m
Admission ticket included

Visit Gyeongbok Palace. 'Gyeongbok' means 'felicitous blessing'. It is the first palace that was built on the foundation of the Joseon Dynasty(1392-1910). As much as it is the most important palace in the history of the dynasty, it is also quite enormous. Perhaps due to the luckiness conveyed by the name 'Gyeongbok', this new dynasty was able to last 600 long years through glory and shame.

Bukchon Hanok Village

Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. The name Bukchon, which literally translates to "northern village," came about as the area lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks operate as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. As Bukchon Hanok Village is an actual area with people's homes, visitors are advised to be respectful at all times while looking around.

N Seoul Tower

N Seoul Tower is a landmark and communication tower atop Namsan Mountain in Seoul, South Korea. Originally a broadcast tower, it has become a popular tourist attraction with observation decks providing stunning city views. Famous for the "Locks of Love," where couples attach padlocks, the tower also houses restaurants, cafes, and cultural exhibits. Illuminated at night, it symbolises Seoul's skyline and offers diverse experiences for visitors. Accessible by hiking, cable car, or shuttle bus, N Seoul Tower is an iconic symbol of the city.

Starfield COEX Mall

Starfield Library is a stunning public library located in the COEX Mall in Gangnam. It features impressive bookshelves, cosy reading areas, and a modern design, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Gangnam Style Statue is a statue dedicated to the global hit song "Gangnam Style" by Psy. Located in the Gangnam district, it celebrates the song's influence and the vibrant culture of the area, attracting visitors who want to take photos with the iconic symbol.

Bongeunsa Temple

Bongeunsa Temple is a peaceful Buddhist temple located in the heart of Seoul. Founded in 794, it offers a quiet escape from the busy city with beautiful halls, stone lanterns, and a serene atmosphere. Visitors can explore traditional Korean Buddhist culture, enjoy scenic walking paths, and experience the contrast between ancient spirituality and the modern skyscrapers of Gangnam.
