Where Modern and Traditional Seoul Meets (Private)
Itinerary
Pick Up: Our tour guide will pick you up from the designated hotel in Seoul City Center and transfer you to:
The Blue House: The official residence of the president, known for its distinctive blue tiles. The blue tiles and sleek roof harmonize beautifully with Mt. Bugaksan in the background.
Gyeongbokgung Palace: Built during the reign of King Taejo, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), Gyeongbokgung Palace was destroyed in the Japanese invasion of 1592 and reconstructed in 1868. It features four gates, including the main southern gate, Gwanghwamun.
Changing of the Guard Ceremony: Witness this traditional ceremony in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace at 10:00 AM.
Jogyesa Temple: A hub of Zen Buddhism in Korea, Jogyesa Temple is easily accessible and well-connected to the surrounding city area, unlike other temples located in remote mountains.
Drop-off: You will be dropped off at the hotel or at City Hall to continue exploring the city on your own.
