Gwanghwamun & Cheonggyecheon Historic Walk
Begin your journey at Gwanghwamun Square, the symbolic heart of Seoul, where you’ll meet two of Korea’s greatest heroes, King Sejong the Great, the creator of the Korean alphabet, and Admiral Yi Sun-sin, the naval commander who defended the nation with brilliant strategy and courage.
From there, follow the gentle flow of Cheonggyecheon Stream, a peaceful oasis winding through the center of the city. As we walk along its clear waters and charming bridges, you’ll see how Seoul harmonizes its deep history with a vibrant modern life.
Throughout this tour, we’ll connect the past and the present, from royal palaces and heroes to the history of Korea’s division and the hopes for reunification. By the end, you’ll experience Seoul not just as a modern metropolis, but as a living story of courage, creativity, and transformation.
The tour lasts 2 hours
