Spend your day exploring the highlights of Seoul with the beautiful palace and the best local food!

Start with Jogyesa temple, and continue to Gwanghwamun Square to see the statues of King Sejong. Visit Gyeongbokgung palace, the most visited tourist attraction in Seoul, first established as the main palace in the Joseon Dynasty.
