What you can expect

Your day will start with a tour guide to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the most beautiful and remains the largest of all five palaces (Tuesday: visit Changdeokgung place).
Your will watch “Palace Royal Guard Changing Ceremony”, a unique and special ceremony in the palace.
Then, move to Bukchon Hanok village which literally translates to “northern village,” where many traditional houses operate as cultural centers, guesthouses and restaurants.

After exploring Bukchon Hanok Village, we'll board a comfortable vehicle for a scenic drive to Bugak Skyway. During the vehicle you will pass by Cheongwadae, the blue house where previous presidents of South Korea worked until 2022.

Arriving at Bugak Palgakjeong, also known as the Bugak Pavilion, you'll be captivated by the stunning panoramic views of Seoul. This tranquil pavilion is nestled on the slopes of Bugaksan Mountain, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city below. Take some time to absorb the beauty of the landscape and capture some incredible photographs.

In addition, you will visit Cheongha Korea Ginseng. Ginseng is first mentioned in “Ji Jiu Zhang” during Han dynasty of China as herb used widely in the orient for so many diseases and ailments. It is a plant which had been regarded as a panacea, a cure all. In the studies, Korean ginseng shows best performances in adaptogenic properties.

Lastly, your trip will end at Gwangjang Market, the nation’s first market. Although the goods are not brand name products, the wide selection of high-quality goods at inexpensive prices will make it an enjoyable shopping experience. The market is famous for the delicious foods so have lunch or some snacks. Don't miss the chance to taste some of the market's famous dishes, such as bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) and mayak gimbap (addictive seaweed rice rolls).
