[Seoul Tower] Seoul Tower is South Korea's first tower-shaped tourist attraction and offers the best views of downtown Seoul. It boasts not only an observation deck but also fine-dining restaurants, a digital observatory, gift shops, and museums, offering a variety of amenities. Visiting at night is recommended over visiting during the day.
[Insadong] Insadong is one of South Korea's most iconic streets, characterized by its coexistence of tradition and modernity. Insadong, centered around a main street, is connected by a maze of alleyways. Hidden within these mazes are traditional teahouses, restaurants, traditional craft shops, antique stores, and more, offering a truly enjoyable experience. While here, we recommend visiting Seongil-gil Street. Its unique U-shaped buildings are home to many modern cultural and creative products, making it a popular destination for young people.
[Gyeongbokgung Palace] Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first legal palace of the Joseon Dynasty. Its vast grounds are characterized by its orderly layout of buildings. The beautiful gardens and lakes are also perfect for commemorative photos. Weekends often attract many Koreans and international tourists with their families.
