What to Expect
Seoul Yesterday and Today
You will visit the ancient Gyeongbokgung Palace complex, where you will see the throne hall and the Royal gardens — and I will tell you the history of the Choson dynasty that lived here. Next, you will visit the central bustling Gwanghwamun Square with fountains, lawns, and monuments to outstanding residents. Afterward, take a stroll to Cheonggyecheon Stream, transformed into a wonderfully beautiful public space combining Eastern traditions and modern technologies.
Seoul at a Glance
I will show you Seoul's main Buddhist temple — Jogyesa. Built in 1920, it is considered the heart of Korean Zen Buddhism. You will be impressed by its colorful patterns, majestic trees, and incredible atmosphere. Finish your day by strolling through the ancient Insa-dong Alley, ascending the country's tallest tower Lotte Sky with transparent floors, and enjoying a beautiful panorama of Seoul.
