BEST PLACES IN KOREA

N Seoul Tower

Seoul’s landmark attraction is none other than N Seoul Tower, located atop Namsan Mountain in the center of the city.

The tower draws in visitors year-round, and is most famous for the view it offers of the cityscape at night. For hallyu fans,

the tower is a must-visit attraction, having been featured in dramas like “My Love From the Star (2013)” and “Legend of the Blue Sea (2016).”

The tower features not only an observation deck, but also atmospheric cafés and restaurants among other facilities.

N Seoul Tower is a great place to spend an enjoyable evening with friends or loved ones, taking in the beautiful nightscape over a cup of coffee.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Gyeongbokgung Palace was the major legal residence of the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty.

Carrying a meaning of “a place where the new king can enjoy prosperity of great blessings,” this was the first palace built during the

Joseon Dynasty. The palace is unique for its vast area and harmony of buildings, and is the only palace to have all four major gates still remaining to this day.

Within the palace grounds, you can see a multitude of restored buildings. Visitors will enjoy looking at the variations among buildings,

each serving a unique purpose. Of course, even before entering the palace, tourists enjoy gathering at Gwanghwamun Gate to watch the Royal Guard

Changing Ceremony; be sure to time your visit to include this cultural performance in your tour. Gyeongbokgung Palace also offers special evening admissions

once a year, so don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the evening atmosphere at the palace grounds if your schedule allows.

Bukchon Hanok Village

A representative attraction of Seoul, Bukchon Hanok Village shows the charm of Korea’s traditional buildings.

The neighborhood where relatives of the royal family lived, the hanoks here are grand, providing beautiful scenes down every lane.

To make the most of your visit, we recommend finding the “Eight Scenic Spots of Bukchon.” These eight locations are each unique but

share the similarity of being breathtaking. Your souvenir photos will turn out great with these spots in the background!

Myeong-dong

The area of Myeong-dong is filled with unique street foods and plenty of things to see! A district of fashion and shopping,

many young Koreans and international tourists seek out great deals and the latest trends. Myeong-dong

stretches approximately 1km from Myeong-dong Station (Seoul Subway Line 4) to Eulji-ro Avenue and Lotte Department Store.

The streets are lined with department stores, duty free stores, and various brand shops. Even if shopping

isn’t really your thing, you can still enjoy Myeong-dong by trying the street foods and many famous restaurants in the area!
