Bukchon Hanok Village
What better way to get to know a country’s heart and soul than going to its most traditional village? Bukchon Hanok Village is a 600 year old urban environment made up of hundreds of Hanok Houses (Korean traditional style houses) which date all the way back to the Joseon Dynasty. Traditionally this village was home to high-ranking government officials and nobles. Bukchon literally translated to “Northern Village” still to this day remains a residential neighbourhood, with real people living there. For this reason we ask that you be respectful and considerate at all times during our Hanok Village tour.Read moreMore about Bukchon Hanok Village
Gyeongbokgung Palace
- Guard Changing Ceremony at Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul’s grandest palace, showcases vibrant traditional costumes and music. Seeing this iconic ceremony is a must while in Seoul. The ceremony began as a safety precaution during the Joseon Dynasty, where the soldiers, also known as “Wanggung Sumunjang,” were responsible for opening and closing the palace gates and inspecting visitors to the king.
- The Joseon Dynasty was known for constructing magnificent palaces, and Gyeongbokgung is considered the most beautiful and impressive among the five royal palaces built around Seoul. Here, you’ll see original elements dating back to its construction in 1395. Although the palace was almost completely destroyed during the Japanese occupation in the 20th century, it has since been meticulously reconstructed, blending historic features with modern elements.
- Note: On Tuesdays, Gyeongbokgung Palace and the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony are replaced with visits to Changdeokgung Palace and Insadong.Read moreMore about Gyeongbokgung Palace
