Seoul Royal Palace Tour

The experience

See ultra-modern Seoul’s historic, palatial beauty

Start your day with a guided visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest and most beautiful of Seoul's Five Grand Palaces. Watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony held at the palace.

After the village tour, head to Bukchon Hanok Village to see traditional Korean houses (hanoks), many of which now serve as cultural centers, guesthouses, and restaurants. If it’s closed, the tour will go to Namsangol Hanok Village instead.

Then take a drive along Bugak Skyway, passing Cheongwadae (the former presidential residence). Stop at Bugak Palgakjeong Pavilion for views of the city.

Next, visit the Cheongha Korea Ginseng Center to learn about Korean ginseng, historically valued for its medicinal properties.

End the tour at Gwangjang Market, where you can shop and try local street food like mung bean pancakes and seaweed rice rolls.
