Where are the places worth visiting in Seoul? : Korea is not a big country compared to many countries around the world, but even though it is a small country, it is a country with many attractive tourist destinations in many unique cities. Today, I would like to introduce you to three Korean travel destinations that you must not miss in Seoul, the capital of Korea.

Where are the places worth visiting in Seoul? 1. Seoul’s Five Great Palaces

Seoul is a busy city full of tall buildings and busy people, but it also captures the traditional Korean look with the old palaces remaining in Korea. Today, I would like to introduce you to 5 ancient palaces, which are called the 5 major palaces in Seoul.

The five major palaces in Seoul are Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, and Gyeonghuigung Palace. To introduce them one by one, Gyeongbokgung Palace is a palace where only about one-fifth of its original appearance remains, but it is a palace where you can see a dignified and magnificent appearance. On the other hand, Changdeokgung is a palace with a softer and more peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. In addition, Changgyeonggung Palace is a little smaller than the previous two palaces, so it is good to tour lightly, and it is good to tour together as it is connected to Changdeokgung Palace. Deoksugung is a palace where the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Western-style imperial palace called Seokjojeon are located together. You can view the inside of Seokjojeon by making a reservation. Lastly, Gyeonghuigung is a palace that suffered a lot during the Japanese occupation of Korea and has not been restored much. The Seoul Museum of History is located next to it, so you can learn and feel Korean history while watching it together.

The entrance fee to the old palaces is free or cheap, at most 3,000 won per person, so I would like to say that if you are traveling to Korea, feel free to stop by. In addition, every last Wednesday of the month is called Culture Day, so even places with an admission fee are free. There are many places to rent hanbok near the palace, so why not try on hanbok while visiting Korea and tour the palace for free?

However, the admission time varies slightly depending on the season and the day off for each palace is slightly different, so you should check before visiting!

Even hearing the name of Seoul Tower, don’t you think you must visit it if you come to Seoul? Namsan N Seoul Tower is a landmark in Seoul. Namsan Tower is an observatory located on a mountain. If you like mountains and want to enjoy leisurely walking, you can go up on foot or use a circular bus or cable car to go up.

In order to enter Namsan N Seoul Tower, you can make a reservation online in advance or buy a ticket right away. It costs 16,000 won for adults and 12,000 won for children, and the observatory is available from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm.

In addition to the great view of Seoul from the observatory, inside the observatory is an immersive media art space called Inside Seoul, where you can see the beauty of Korea through wonderful art created by light.

Also, the most famous thing about Namsan N Seoul Tower is the love lock. It is a place to promise eternal love by engraving each other’s names on the padlock and hanging it on the railing. The padlock that promises lots of love and Seoul spread out in front of it are impressive. If you are on a trip to Seoul with your loved one or family, how about putting on a love lock at Namsan N Seoul Tower?

Did you know that the Blue House, where the President of Korea stayed, opened recently? If you are traveling to Korea, why not visit the Blue House, where the President of Korea stayed and worked until recently? To visit the Blue House, you must make a reservation in advance on the Blue House website. However, foreigners can also challenge on-site reservations for 500 people, two times a day, on a first-come, first-served basis, so you can’t make a reservation in advance. Now, aren’t you looking forward to the trip to Korea that you were already excited about? If you are going on a trip to Korea and don’t know where to go, if you visit these three places, you will definitely have a fruitful trip without regrets!
