Gyeongbokgung Palace is a royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty, and nowadays, many visitors dress up in hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) and take photos while experiencing a time travel within its premises. As a result, if you visit wearing hanbok, the admission fee is waived. There are numerous hanbok rental shops located near Gyeongbokgung Palace, making it convenient for visitors to rent and wear hanbok. Explore the interior of Gyeongbokgung Palace while immersing yourself in the feeling of traveling back in time to the Joseon era!

Hallyu K-pop Experience Center, also known as Hiker Ground, is a place where you can immerse yourself in the culture of K-pop and experience various K-content. I have heard great things about it as well, and you can even try dancing there! Have a fun-filled time at Hiker Ground and then complete your journey with a finale at Cheonggyecheon Stream.

Ikseon-dong

Ikseon-dong is a charming neighborhood where narrow alleys and traditional Korean hanok houses come together, creating a beautiful atmosphere. It has become a popular hotspot for tourists of all ages. In Ikseon-dong, you can enjoy food, grab a cup of coffee, visit bookstores or arcades, and take memorable photos. It serves as a space where consumption and cultural activities coexist. Additionally, it has been featured as a filming location for many movies and dramas. Although the entrance of the hanok houses may appear narrow, once you step inside, you will find that each store has its own unique concept, providing spacious and pleasant environments. Exploring each store is a delightful experience in itself.

Gwangjang Market

Gwangjang Market, which means "to gather widely and preserve," has a history of around 120 years and is the largest traditional market in Seoul. At the entrance, you will find shops selling fabric and kitchenware, and as you go further inside, you'll encounter the famous "food alley." From bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) to janchi guksu (feast noodle soup), gojeon (pan-fried meat), yukhoe (Korean-style steak tartare), and more, Gwangjang Market is known for its delicious food. In particular, bindaetteok has been featured in the media, making it a must-visit spot for visitors. Gwangjang Market has gained popularity among foreigners as well, with numerous Hollywood stars such as Sam Smith and Jessica Alba visiting the market during their trips to Korea.
