Jogyesa Buddhist Temple, established in 1935 and located in downtown Seoul, serves as the center of Zen Buddhism in Korea. As you approach from the bustling streets of Jongno towards Anguk Subway Station, the temple unfolds as a peaceful retreat marked by its ancient white pine and 500-year-old locust and baeksong trees at the Daeungjeon, the main temple building. Visitors enter through the "Iljumun," a symbolic gate that divides the mundane world from the sacred realm of Buddha, where they can experience spiritual tranquility and admire the splendid golden statues.

Step into the grandeur of Korea’s royal heritage. Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung is Seoul’s largest and most iconic palace — once the heart of the Joseon Dynasty. Here, you can witness the changing of the royal guard ceremony, explore historic architecture, and walk in the footsteps of kings. Filming locations: • Kingdom (Netflix) – the hit zombie-sageuk series set in a Joseon-era palace • The King: Eternal Monarch (SBS/Netflix) – alternate-universe royal palace scenes • Chicago Typewriter – historical flashbacks filmed on-site The palace’s elegant courtyards and mountain backdrop have made it a favorite for period dramas and cinematic scenes that blend tradition with fantasy.

Duration: 1 hourAdmission: YES

Step inside the National Folk Museum of Korea, located within the grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace, and explore the everyday lives of Korean people throughout history. Through thousands of artifacts, interactive exhibits, and life-sized replicas, the museum vividly illustrates how Koreans lived, worked, and celebrated across the centuries. A highlight is the recreated traditional village street, where you can walk through shops and homes from the early 20th century—right at the moment when electricity first entered daily life. It’s a fascinating way to experience Korea’s cultural heritage and see how tradition shaped the modern nation.

Namsan Hanok Village, located at the base of Namsan Mountain in the heart of Seoul, is a cultural haven that transports visitors back to the Joseon Dynasty. This village is an excellent representation of Korean heritage, showcasing five restored traditional Korean houses, or hanoks, which illustrate the historical architecture of various social classes from the 14th to the 19th century. Nestled within the modern cityscape of Seoul, the village not only offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city life but also provides panoramic views of Namsan Mountain and the surrounding city. This juxtaposition makes Namsan Hanok Village a must-visit for anyone looking to experience Korea's traditional culture while enjoying the natural beauty and historical architecture.

Beautiful full day tour

Beautiful tour and fantastic experience to discover Korean culture. In addition our guide Cathy was very kind as well as very prepared. The tour starts at 9am and ends around 5pm. Lunch is included in a typical Korean restaurant. The guide helps in choosing the menu and how the food is served. Also with this tour you can visit places that alone would be difficult to reach. Transport by bus/van is included. The price is very reasonable.

A very full day with some great stops to better understand life in Seoul.

We had an enjoyable day with MiaeYang(Cathy) with our visit to the Gyeongbokgung Palace with lots of information shared to us about the building and history. The Jogyesa Temple and associated gardens were full of colour and quite a surprise in the midst of the very busy heart of Seoul. Bulgogi Beef for lunch at the traditional Korean restaurant nearby was delicious and renewed our energy for the afternoon visits to Namsan Seoul Tower with a cable car ride to take in great views of Seoul on a mild, sunny day. A stop at the very bustling and interesting KwangJang Market showed us many food options if only we were still hungry after such a lunch.
