Extend your holiday with a fascinating stay in South Korea's dynamic capital city, Seoul, and admire it's many local treasures. From temples and palaces to the delicious street snacks.
Make your way to Seoul, South Korea’s capital. Upon arrival, you will be met by your driver and transferred to your hotel. This dynamic city may be well and truly on fast-forward for everything from fashion to technology, but it is still deeply rooted in tradition – you’ll find yourself stumbling upon temples and palaces amongst the glittering skyscrapers and neon billboards. Seoul is also the place for foodies, the street snacks are second to none!
You will be picked up from you hotel to begin your full day seat-in-coach tour of the city. Your first stop will be at Cheongwadae, the former residence and office of the President of South Korea. Continue to Gyeongbok Palace, where, as well as exploring, you will see the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, before visiting Jogyesa Temple. After lunch, take a stroll along Insadong Street, home to a plethora of antique shops and traditional tea houses, then go on to visit N Seoul Tower for panoramic views over the city. Your last stop of the day is Hanok Village, a historic district featuring rows of traditional houses. Transfer back to your hotel and enjoy the remainder of your day at leisure. Please note, if today's date falls on a Tuesday, your itinerary may differ due to the Gyeongbok Palace being closed on Tuesdays.
