guard ceremony at Gyeongbokgung

Meet your guide at Myeongdong Station Exit 9 and set off in an air-conditioned minivan or coach. Your first stop is Gyeongbokgung, the largest of the Joseon Dynasty's Five Grand Palaces. Explore the palace with your guide's commentary and watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony held at the palace.

Visit Namsangol Hanok Village
and Bugak Palgakjeong Pavilion

Head to Namsangol Hanok Village at the northern foot of Namsan Mountain. Five traditional hanok houses from around Seoul were relocated and restored on the site of Pil-dong, a valley famous during the Joseon era, making it a great place for photos.
