Description:

Explore the iconic symbols of South Korea’s heritage on this full-day tour of Seoul. See ancient structures and tour vibrant markets for a taste of old and new Korea. Visit the Korean Folk Village and step back into the Joseon Dynasty as you observe the recreated lifestyle and houses of the era.

After your hotel pickup, you head to the center of Zen Buddhism in Korea, Jyogesa. Later, marvel at the beauty of Gyeongbokgung, the most charming of the Five Grand Palaces that were constructed during the Joseon Dynasty. The many exhibits at the National Folk Museum of Korea offer a deeper understanding of the country’s dense cultural past.

Move on to the largest traditional market in Korea—Namdaemun Market—for an authentic Korean lunch and plentiful shopping. With over 1,000 vendors and nearby department stores, you can find everything here from toys and watches to tableware and fabrics.

Only a scenic drive away, the Korean Folk Village is a thorough recreation of life during the Joseon Dynasty. The village boasts 260 replicated structures, including government buildings, farmhouses, residences, schools, shops, and an amphitheater.

Watch as artisans demonstrate age-old methods of blacksmithing, weaving, and pottery making. Catch cultural dances and celebratory ceremonies before making your way back to your hotel.
