Nearby, visit the serene Changdeokgung Palace and Huwon (Secret Garden)—a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its harmony with nature.

Modern Marvels and Panoramic Views

Contrast ancient beauty with Seoul’s ultramodern side. Visit the soaring Lotte World Tower, the 5th tallest building in the world, and take in panoramic views from its glass skywalk. Or ride up to the N Seoul Tower on Namsan Mountain, where you can enjoy 360° city views and the iconic “Locks of Love” fence. Explore Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), a masterpiece of futuristic architecture by Zaha Hadid, and stroll through its design shops, art installations, and night market.

Traditional Markets and Street Food Adventures

Dive into Korea’s culinary scene at Gwangjang Market, one of the oldest traditional markets in Seoul. Taste authentic dishes like bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes), mayak gimbap (addictive mini rice rolls), or live octopus—if you're feeling brave! For trendy street food and fashion, visit Myeongdong, where the latest in K-beauty and bold flavors like spicy tteokbokki and honey butter chips take center stage. Your guide can help you navigate the best stalls and introduce you to Korea’s vibrant food culture.
