Day One
Start your tour of
Gyeongbokgung
at the palace's expertly restored main gate,
Gwanghwamun, where you can watch the pageantry of the changing of the guard
on the hour. Explore the winding streets of
Bukchon Hanok Village
and
Insa-
dong
, pausing for refreshments at a cafe or teahouse in between browsing the equally ubi-
quitous art galleries and craft stores in these areas.
Join the 2pm tour of
Changdeokgung
, which also includes the Huwon (Secret
Garden). Afterwards explore the wooded grounds of the venerable shrine
Jongmyo
, housing the spirit tablets of the Joseon kings and queens.
Dinner

Take your seat at a fun
nonverbal show
such as
Nanta
or
Jump
. Be dazzled by
the bright lights and retail overload of
Myeong-dong
and neighbouring
Nam-
daemun Market
, where the stalls stay open all night.
