This morning there’s the opportunity to try on a Hanbok - the traditional Korean dress which dates back thousands of years and is worn on special occasions. After dressing for the occasion, visit the beautifully ornate Gyeongbokgung Palace which is the largest and most famous of Seoul’s Five Grand Palaces. Gyeongbokgung served as the main palace during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) - the last dynasty of Korea. After a tour of the palace, watch the Changing of the Guard before proceeding to the lively antique alley of Insadong. Here, art galleries, antique shops, crafts shops, and pottery shops display their traditional goods. Korea is renowned for its wonderful, healthy cuisine and for lunch today, there’s the opportunity to sample ‘Bulgogi’, which is a traditional dish made from thin, marinated slices of beef and pork. After lunch, explore the enchanting Bukchon Hanok Village, which is home to around 900 hanoks - traditional Korean houses, that date back to the Joseon Dynasty. Ending the day, you’ll take in incredible panoramic views of the city from the 236-meter-high N Seoul Tower.
