Stroll through Old Seoul: History, Culture, and Local SECRETS

The tour lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes
Available in Spanish

Description

I invite you to discover Seoul through a cultural tour, designed for curious travelers seeking an authentic experience that allows them to place themselves in Korean history in an accessible, enjoyable, and entertaining way.


On this tour, you will discover:

  • The Altar to Heaven, Seoul's best-kept treasure. 
  • The historic Metropolitan Library, with a powerful message of survival. 
  • The iconic Gwanghwamun Avenue, an ideal setting to understand the Korean War and the indelible marks it left on the peninsula's history. 
  • The tranquil Cheonggyecheon Stream, a perfect example of how Seoul balances tradition, modernity, and nature.
  • The national heroes in front of their majestic statues.
  • The monumental Gyeongbokgung Gate, an eternal symbol of royal power.
  • The oldest Post Office in Korea, where its history takes us from carrier pigeons to current technology.
  • And finally, the spirituality of the Jogyesa Temple, the epicenter of Korean Buddhism.


Of course, GASTRONOMY will have its moment. 

And for those interested in Korean COSMETICS, I also offer to recommend their best secrets.
 
My goal is that, by the end of the tour, you can position yourself in Korean history, understand what its inhabitants have gone through, and connect all this with the modern, dynamic, and avant-garde Seoul of today.

Note: The tour will end around 12:30-13:00, just in time for you to enjoy lunch before many restaurants close for their usual break, which typically runs from 14:30 to 17:00 approximately.

Meeting point:South Korea, Seoul, Euljiro 1(il)-ga, 188-3, President Hotel, KR 서울특별시 중구 을지로 16We will meet at the gate of the Altar of Heaven (Wongudan), located between the UH Continental SeoulCenter hotel and a Nice to CU convenience store. The best way to get there by subway would be through City Hall station exiting through exits 5 or 6, or Euljiro1 station exiting through exit number 8. Since we will enter the Altar of Heaven grounds together, I would appreciate it if you could wait at the gate until we are all gathered 😊 If you have any difficulty finding the meeting point, you can write to me and I will send you the location directly. 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/KkX56n7jzv6HhbxDAOpen in Google Maps →
