Seoul, Royal Palace Morning Tour including Cheongwadae

Experience the rich history and contemporary marvels of Seoul during this comprehensive tour, which includes visits to Cheong Wa Dae (the Blue House), Gyeongbokgung Palace, and the Royal Guard Changing Ceremony.

Upon arrival at the designated meeting point, Lotte Hotel Seoul, your guide will lead you to the first attraction, The Blue House, also known as Cheongwadae. This iconic structure serves as the official residence and office of the South Korean president. Comprising multiple buildings constructed primarily in traditional Korean architecture with modern elements, The Blue House offers an immersive glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage.

As part of the tour, there will be a Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, providing visitors with an exceptional opportunity to witness a rare traditional scene in Korea. To enhance your experience, please consider bringing a camera to capture these moments.

Following the Royal Guard ceremony, proceed to Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of the five major palaces constructed under the reign of the Joseon dynasty. Located within the heart of Seoul, this historic site represents the political and social power of the Joseon Dynasty. Its architectural design blends traditional Chinese principles with the distinctive features of the Joseon royal court.

Due to scheduling constraints, Gyeongbokgung Palace will temporarily relocate to Deoksugung Palace on Tuesdays; therefore, its current location may vary. Upon completion of your tour, you will be transported to either Myeongdong Lotte Hotel or Namdaemun Market, concluding your journey smoothly.
