- Gyeongbokgung Palace
- Seoul’s largest and most iconic royal palace, with over 600 years of history. Despite being heavily damaged during the Japanese colonial period, the palace has been carefully restored — and its remaining structures like Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond remain breathtaking.
※ Closed on Tuesdays — Deoksugung Palace will be visited instead.
- National Folk Museum
- Located within Gyeongbokgung Palace grounds, this museum traces everyday Korean life from ancient times to the present. One of the best places to understand Korean culture and history in an accessible, engaging way.
- Changdeokgung Palace
- The only Korean palace designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Famous for its stunning Secret Garden, which occupies nearly half the palace grounds — a masterpiece of traditional Korean landscape design where Joseon kings once came to find peace.
※ Closed on Mondays — Bukchon Hanok Village will be visited instead.
- Insadong
- A beloved cultural street in the heart of Jongno, lined with traditional craft shops, art galleries, tea houses, and unique Korean restaurants. Don’t miss Ssamziegil — a creative shopping complex known for its distinctive architecture and cultural events.
- Namdaemun Market
- One of Korea’s oldest and largest traditional markets, with a history stretching back centuries. Browse through thousands of stalls selling everything from street food and clothing to souvenirs — a lively and authentic end to a full day in Seoul.
