Top 10 Seoul Tourist Attraction you should visit while you stay in Seoul

1. GyeongBokGung Palace (경복궁)

There are many Royal Palaces in Korea but GyeongBokGung Palace is undoubtedly the best one. GyeongBokGung Palace is more Korean than any other architectures in Korea. You can see the harmony between Modern architecture and Ancient architecture in GyeongBokGung Palace.




2. SungNyeMun Gate (숭례문)

SungNyeMun Gate was the south end gate of Seoul Royal City. There were walls around Seoul City until 19th century. Therefore there were four gates around Seoul city but SungNyeMun Gate is the most well preserved gate in Seoul city. SungNyeMun Gate is personally my favorite Korean historical heritage in Seoul.

3. InSaDong Antique Street (인사동 골동품 거리)

Do you want to buy traditional souvenirs? Do you want to eat traditional Korean food? Then visit InSaDong Antique Street.

4. ChangDeokGung Palace and JongMyo Shrine (창덕궁과 종묘)

These are UNESCO World Heritage. ChangDeokGung Palace is the most environment friendly palace Joseon Dynasty built. Joseon Dynasty had emphasis on building architectures that are well cope with the nearby environment and ChangDeokGung Palace show this well. JongMyo Shrine is architecture for ancestral ritual formalities which is core value of Confucianism.



5. N Seoul Tower (남산타워)

Although there is observatory in Lotte World Tower, I recommend visiting N Seoul Tower for observatory reason.

6. National Museum of Korea (국립중앙박물관)

If you want to know 5000 years of history of Korea, then visit National Museum of Korea. You can see from prehistoric artifacts to Modern antiquity.
