All about the trip

Come and visit the historical heart of Seoul on our afternoon city tour by bus. See one of the main palaces of Korea, Changdeokgung Palace, which is the most successfully preserved palace in this country. Changdeokgung is also part of the UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage since February 1997. It really shows off the beauty of Korean architecture.

After this amazing site, we move to a small shopping center Insadong. In this alley, you will experience the culture of Korea with art galleries, craft stores, antique art dealers, traditional tea houses and restaurants. Insadong antique shop alley is basically a Korean culture show.

Our trip continues to Namsangol Hanok Village which is also known as "A Village of traditional houses in the Namsan Valley". This village is located on the northern side of Namsan Mountain near Myeongdong in Seoul. Traditional houses we can find in this place have been restored to preserve the original atmosphere of the area.

The next stop will be the Sungnyemun Gate or Namdaemun Gate. It is one of the Eight Gates in the Fortress Wall of Seoul. The gate is dated back to the 14th century. Next to the gate is the Namdaemun market, an open-air market from the Joseon Dynasty. In this place daily products are exchanged between urban and rural areas of Korea since its foundation.

When our afternoon tour full of culture and architecture comes to its end, we will take you to Myeongdong or City Hall.
