Explore the Changdeokgung Palace, a 600-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is the city's jewel and second largest palace in Seoul. Here you will come across outstanding architectural details and wander through verdant and large gardens. The main highlight is the "secret garden” of temples and pavilions. If you visit here in spring, you will see these gardens become livelier with cherry blossoms, and autumn. Visit the National Museum of Korea, the country’s largest museum on Korean history and art. Here the main highlight you will come around is the golden treasures from the Great Tomb of Hwangnam and the intricate gilt-bronze Baekje incense burner, which resembles a lotus bud on a dragon-like pedestal.
Enjoy Seoul adventure tours at the Namsan Mountain and N Seoul Tower.
