Wearing a hanbok as you explore Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village is a unique way to immerse yourself in Seoul’s traditions.
Tour Details
At the indicated time, we'll meet at Gyeongbokgung Metro Station and walk together to the traditional costume rental shop, located just a short distance from the meeting point. Once there, you'll be able to choose the hanbok design you like best. You'll feel just like royalty!
Dressed in a hanbok, we'll head to the first stop on our traditional Seoul tour: Gyeongbokgung Palace. This complex is the most important of the Joseon dynasty, which ruled Korea for nearly 500 years. Upon arrival, we'll witness the changing of the guard before entering to explore this gem of the South Korean capital.
After wearing the hanbok for around 1.5 to 2 hours, we'll return it to the rental shop. Then, we'll go on a walk of about 30 minutes to Bukchon Hanok Village, one of the most iconic neighborhoods in Seoul. Once we arrive, we'll rest at a café with views of Bukchon, where we'll enjoy a traditional tea and a yakgwa, a traditional Korean dessert.
We’ll then make our way to Bukchon Hanok, one of Seoul’s most iconic neighborhoods. As we stroll through its narrow streets, we'll admire the traditional architecture of its houses and temples. Did you know that this area was once reserved exclusively for nobles during the Joseon Dynasty?
Finally, we'll visit Baek In-je House, a residence that preserves the modern hanok style developed during the Japanese colonisation.
In this area, our 4-hour tour will come to an end.
