Seoul Royal Palace Tour
About this experience
Start your day with a guided visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest and most beautiful of Seoul's Five Grand Palaces. Watch the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony held at the palace.
After the village tour, head to Bukchon Hanok Village to see traditional Korean houses (hanoks), many of which now serve as cultural centers, guesthouses, and restaurants. If it’s closed, the tour will go to Namsangol Hanok Village instead.
Then take a drive along Bugak Skyway, passing Cheongwadae (the former presidential residence). Stop at Bugak Palgakjeong Pavilion for views of the city.
Next, visit the Cheongha Korea Ginseng Center to learn about Korean ginseng, historically valued for its medicinal properties.
End the tour at Gwangjang Market, where you can shop and try local street food like mung bean pancakes and seaweed rice rolls.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
