Ø      Changdeok Palace

 

Changdeok Palace was built during the 5th year of the reign of King Taejong (1405) as a royal villa. It was later used as royal residence when Gyeongbok Palace was burnt down during the Japanese invasion in 1592. Since the site of the Palace is not level, the layout of the buildings is designed in such a way that architectural forms adapt to the changing natural terrain.

 

Ø     Insadong

 

The street where you can feel traditional Korean culture, Insadong is the best place for those who want to experience Korean traditions. Numerous traditional teashops, galleries, antique shops and traditional restaurants are placed along the narrow alley.

 

Ø     Namdaemun Market

 

Namdaemun Market is the largest one in Seoul and shoppers may get any product in Korea at the cheapest price at here. Moreover it’s near from the center of Seoul, passengers can easily access to the major hotels even at night.
