Extend your holiday with a stay in South Korea's incredible capital city, where grand palaces and traditional houses sit alongside modern skyscrapers.
A full-day guided city tour introduces you to the capital's royal history, bustling Insadong and panoramic views from Namsan Seoul Tower. You'll also have a full day at leisure to explore local neighbourhoods, browse the shops or sample the city's tempting street food.
Make your way to South Korea's capital, Seoul, where you will be met by a driver and transferred to your hotel. This dynamic city may be well and truly on fast-forward for everything from fashion to technology, but it is still deeply rooted in tradition – you'll find yourself stumbling upon temples and palaces amongst the glittering skyscrapers and neon billboards. Seoul is also the place for foodies, the street snacks are second to none!
You will be picked up from your hotel to begin your full-day seat-in-coach tour of Seoul. Pass by the Blue House (Cheong Wa Dae), South Korea's presidential office, before exploring Gyeongbok Palace. Observe the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony and visit the palace's National Folk Museum, then continue to Jogyesa Temple before lunch. This afternoon, explore Insadong Street's antique shops and boutiques, visit N Seoul Tower for panoramic city views, and finish at Namsangol Hanok Village, where restored traditional houses offer a glimpse into Korea's past. (On Mondays, Namsangol Hanok Village is replaced by a visit to Myeongdong shopping district. On Tuesdays, the itinerary may vary as Gyeongbok Palace is closed.)
Enjoy the day at leisure to explore the many sights and sounds of Seoul.
Your day is at leisure until the time comes to transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
