one hour Admission not included

Deoksugung Palace at Sunset:

Visit Deoksugung around sunset, when the palace starts to light up and the atmosphere changes.

Compared with larger palaces such as Gyeongbokgung, Deoksugung is smaller and more compact, but it has a very unique character. Traditional Korean palace buildings stand alongside Western-style architecture such as Seokjojeon, giving the palace a mix of old and modern influences.

We’ll walk through the palace while learning about its history and enjoying the evening atmosphere.

Relax at Cheonggyecheon Stream:

After walking around the city, take a break at Cheonggyecheon Stream and enjoy a more relaxed side of Seoul.

You can sit by the water, cool your feet in the stream, or grab a beer or another drink and simply chill for a while. At night, the city lights and flowing water make it a nice place to slow down and rest before continuing the tour.

Depending on the season, there may also be special events or light displays along the stream.
