Tour description
Discover the perfect balance between the real past and the most modern present of Seoul! This weekend tour is designed to show you the true beauty of the Joseon dynasty and how the city has transformed, all in a pleasant guided walk in Spanish.
While most people only stay at the main palace, we will explore more charming corners with fewer crowds:
What will we visit?
Unhyeongung Palace: Our first stop (free of charge!). A peaceful royal residence where the end of the Joseon dynasty began.
Changdeokgung Palace (UNESCO): Famous for its architecture that blends in perfect harmony with nature.
Changgyeonggung Palace: Full of fascinating stories, with a beautiful pond and the first Western-style greenhouse in Korea.
Yulgok-ro Stone Wall: A recently restored romantic and historical walk.
Ikseon-dong Hanok Village (End of the tour): A maze of traditional houses from the 1920s, now turned into Seoul's trendiest cafes and restaurants. Perfect for staying for a bite!
