You will witness the royal guard changing ceremony at Gwanghwamun, an event that marks the changing of the royal guards and confirms their identities. Begin your journey at Gwanghwamun Gate, where the colorful Royal Guard Changing Ceremony brings the traditions of the Joseon Dynasty to life. Then step inside Gyeongbokgung Palace, the grandest and most beautiful of Korea's royal palaces. As you wander through its sweeping courtyards and ornate halls, imagine the daily life of kings and queens centuries ago.
Highlights include Geunjeongjeon Hall, where formal state affairs were held, Gangnyeongjeon Hall, the king's private residence, and the picturesque Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, once used for royal banquets beside a tranquil pond.
(Please note: On Tuesdays, when Gyeongbokgung and the National Folk Museum are closed, the tour will instead visit Deoksugung Palace and the Presidential Blue House Museum.)
