Over deze ervaring

Start your day with a convenient hotel pickup in Seoul, followed by a comfortable ride in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional English-speaking guide who will provide fascinating insights into Seoul's culture and history.

Your journey begins with a pass by Gwanghwamun Square, a symbolic landmark of Seoul known for its iconic statues and vibrant cultural atmosphere. Admire its historical significance as the gateway to the city's heritage.

Next, visit the serene Jogyesa Temple, the heart of Zen Buddhism in Korea. Stroll through its tree-lined grounds, explore its ancient white pine and locust trees, and experience tranquility as you step through the symbolic "Iljumun" gate into the spiritual world of Buddha.

Continue to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul's most magnificent royal palace, where you’ll witness the captivating royal guard changing ceremony. Explore the palace grounds, including the king's quarters, banquet pavilion, and formal halls. On Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung Palace is closed, the tour will visit Deoksugung Palace and the Presidential Blue House Museum instead.

Visit the National Folk Museum of Korea, located within the palace grounds. Here, immerse yourself in Korean history and culture, exploring exhibits that showcase the daily lives of Korean people throughout the ages.

Pass by the iconic Presidential Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae), a symbol of Korea's governance, and enjoy views of the scenic Bukaksan Mountain behind it, a setting reminiscent of a watercolor painting.

The tour concludes with a drop-off at Insadong, a cultural hub renowned for its traditional arts, crafts, and teahouses. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of Seoul's heritage and plenty of time to explore further on your own.

Reisschema

  1. 1

    ( Pass by )Gwanghwamun Spuare

    Gwanghwamun Square is a historic landmark located in the heart of Seoul, known for its iconic statues and significance as the gateway to Korea's cultural heritage. Standing directly in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace, this vibrant plaza is a space where 600 years of history coexists with modern culture. Notably, in March 2026, the square became the global stage for the BTS comeback performance, uniting over 40,000 passionate fans (ARMY) from around the world. As depicted in the image, the square serves as a dramatic setting where historical statues, such as Admiral Yi Sun-sin, bear witness to dynamic global cultural events.

  2. 2

    Jogyesa Temple

    Hidden in the heart of bustling downtown Seoul, Jogyesa Temple offers a rare glimpse into Korea’s living Buddhist tradition. Founded in 1935, this tranquil sanctuary contrasts strikingly with the city around it. Step through the symbolic Iljumun Gate into a world of peace, where centuries-old pine and locust trees shade the magnificent Daeungjeon Hall. Inside, golden Buddha statues shine softly in the light, inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and experience a moment of serenity.

  3. 3

    Gyeongbokgung Palace

    Your journey begins at Gwanghwamun Gate, where the colorful Royal Guard Changing Ceremony brings the 600-year traditions of the Joseon Dynasty to life. Step inside Gyeongbokgung Palace, the grandest and most beautiful of Korea’s royal palaces, to wander through sweeping courtyards and imagine the regal lives of kings and queens. Highlights include Geunjeongjeon Hall, the heart of state affairs, and the serene Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, once a venue for royal banquets. Beyond its historical significance, Gyeongbokgung has gained global fame as a prime filming location for BTS music videos. Most notably, the March 2026 comeback performance showcased the palace’s architectural splendor to millions of viewers worldwide. As you explore these ornate halls, you are not just walking through history—you are standing on the very stage where global icons celebrated Korea's heritage, bridging the gap between the majestic past and a dynamic present (Please note: On Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung and the National Folk Museum are closed, the tour will instead visit Deoksugung Palace and the Presidential Blue House Museum.)

  4. 4

    National Folk Museum

    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.

  5. 5

    (Pass by ) The Presidential House

    Have you heard about the Blue House? This is the Korean Presidential House. Did you know? The name comes from the translation of Cheong Wa Dae which means “pavilion of blue tiles.” On a clear day, you can admire the peak called Bukaksan located behind the Blue House. The view looks like a watercolor painting.
