Jogyesa Buddhist Temple
Jogyesa Buddhist Temple, a cornerstone of Korean Buddhism since 1935, sits in downtown Seoul beneath an ancient white pine. Enter through "Iljumun," the one-pillar gate, marking the divide between the everyday world and the sacred Buddha realm. Inside, soak in a profound spiritual vibe and marvel at dazzling golden statues. It's a compact, breathtaking glimpse into Korea's spiritual heart!
Changing of the Guard Ceremony (Except Tuesdays)
No Seoul Day Tour is complete without the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at Gwanghwamun Gate!

It's a mesmerizing glimpse into Korea's regal past—beautiful, graceful, and unmissable!
Gyeongbok Palace (Except Tuesdays)
Gyeongbokgung Palace is Joseon Dynasty's grand home built in 1395. With 7,700 rooms, this stunning palace survived destruction from the Imjin War (1592–1598) and Imperial Japan in the 20th century. Restored to near its original glory, it's a breathtaking glimpse into royal life. Wander its vast grounds—highlights like Gangnyeongjeon (king's quarters), Geunjeongjeon (formal hall), and Gyeonghoeru (banquet hall) await, guided by our expert. Picture yourself as royalty in this historic gem!
National Folk Museum of Korea (Except Tuesdays)
The National Folk Museum of Korea, first founded as the "Korean Imperial Museum" in 1908, has evolved through many names and moves. Now, it showcases 45,000 artifacts and royal treasures from the Joseon Dynasty and Korean Empire, including 14 of South Korea's National Treasures. Spanning over 500 years, this museum immerses you in history, offering a vivid peek into the lives of Joseon kings and queens through stunning relics of their past.
Changdeok Palace (Tuesdays Only)
Changdeok Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Joseon Dynasty's "Five Grand Palaces," was built in 1405. Famous for blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings, it boasts elegant pavilions, grand gates, and vibrant tiled roofs that reflect Korea's royal heritage. Its unique layout, including Injeongjeon Hall for ceremonies, showcases Joseon artistry. Each season paints the palace anew — cherry blossoms in spring, golden leaves in autumn — offering a serene escape in bustling Seoul. Wander its grounds to uncover centuries of history and architectural brilliance!
Bukchon Hanok Village (Tuesdays Only)
Bukchon Hanok Village, nestled between Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces in Seoul, is a timeless gem preserving hundreds of Joseon Dynasty hanoks — traditional Korean houses. Its winding alleys reveal wooden homes with tiled roofs, decorative walls, and cozy courtyards, blending history with modern life. Some hanoks now serve as tea houses, galleries, and cultural spots, immersing you in Korean traditions. Against Seoul's sleek skyline, Bukchon's serene streets offer postcard-perfect views and a living snapshot of heritage.

Cap off your Seoul City Tour with a thrilling Namsan Cable Car ride to Seoul Tower!

At 236 meters, Seoul (Namsan) Tower, with its sleek base and spiky top, is the city's second-highest point and a broadcasting hub. On clear days, the observatory offers jaw-dropping vistas.

Namdaemun Market, one of South Korea's oldest and largest, pulses in central Seoul with a vibrant mix of history and modernity. Shop for everything — traditional crafts, clothing, electronics, and fashion—across sprawling stalls. Dive into Korean culture with unique souvenirs like handmade pottery, wood carvings, and silk fabrics. Hungry? Savor street food gems like mandu (dumplings), kalguksu (noodles), Japchae Hotteok (crispy veggie-filled doughnuts), and honeycomb candy.
