Jogyesa Temple
The Jogyesa Buddhist Temple is one of the most important landmarks of Korean Buddhism, first established all the way back in 1935. The temple is located in downtown Seoul and is graced by an ancient white pine tree. There are a few important steps to entering the temple. First, you must go through “Iljum”, which is the one pillar gate. The “Iljumun” symbolizes the division between the world of the living and that of the holy Buddha world. You will have a beautiful spiritual experience and be able to admire the splendid, golden statues.
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Changing of the Guard Ceremony – witness a spectacular Korean tradition You will see the meticulously choreographed ceremony that takes place in front of Gwanghwamun Gate. This tradition originated during the Joseon Dynasty and the city decided to bring it back for reenactment in 1996. The soldiers wear colorful blue and red uniforms and gracefully patrol the gates of the palace in protection of the king. The tradition is very elegant and simply beautiful to watch! Gyeongbok Palace (Except Tuesdays) – live like a royal Next up on our Seoul City Tour is Gyeongbokgung Palace. This was the main home of the Joseon Dynasty constructed in 1395. This is a stunning building with 7,700 rooms! The palace did take a few hits over the years, which makes it all the more interesting to see today! Some of the highlights here are Gangnyeongjeon, the king’s main quarters, Geunjeongjeon where the king accepted formal visits, Gyeonghoeru – the special banquet hall, and more!

3.00My son and I booked the half day tour. The highlight was seeing the changing of the guard ceremony at Gyeongbok Palace. We were then taken to a ginseng museum. In reality it wasn’t a museum, but a shop. We were herded in given a brief history of Korean ginseng and then the hard sell. It was frustrating and unnecessary.

5.00If you only have a short time to spend in Seoul, this tour provides a good overview of the top 3 sites to see in the city. Emily is a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable and communicates well. I enjoyed hearing about Korea’s history. It was raining during the tour, and she remained pleasant and patient. She was helpful and gave us recommendations for food, other places to see, and so on. I recommend this tour.
