What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Daehakno, Daehakno, Seoul
Daehakro is a major “arts & culture street” of Korea with some 150 theaters clustered in the area. Stretching for about 1.6km from Jongno 5-ga in Jongno-gu to the Hyehwa-dong Rotary, Daehakro was designated a “cultural zone” operated as a “no cars zone” on weekends. You can visit many historically and culturally popular sites such as Marronnier Park and Naksan Park, or see and taste the latest trends at the various eateries and shopping facilities.
Walk toward Changgyeonggung Palace while feeling the youthful energy of Daehakro, which is lively even late at night.
Stop At: Changgyeonggung Palace, Changgyeonggung 185 Changgyeonggung-ro Jongno-gu, Seoul 03072 South Korea
Changgyeonggung Palace has the most beautiful night view among Korean palaces. And why does Changgyeonggung have the saddest story of all palaces in Korea? Listen to the hidden stories with the wonderful night view!
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Kwangjang Market, 88, Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 03195 South Korea
From sipping on the iconic Makgeolli (Korean rice wine) to savoring the delightful Jeon (savory pancakes), every moment spent here offers an extraordinary gastronomic adventure.
If you're a daring foodie, try the live octopus, a standout dish famously featured in the movie "Old Boy". Its unique texture and fresh taste create a culinary experience that is both exciting and memorable.
And there's more. Get ready to taste four special types of traditional Korean street food, each one a crowd-pleaser at Gwangjang Market. These are not your typical fast food; each dish has a story, every bite is a piece of Korean culture.
No visit to Gwangjang Market is complete without trying the popular Kkwabaegi (twisted Korean donuts). These sweet treats are so popular that people line up to get their hands on them. But with our insider tips, you can skip the line and dive straight into this sweet indulgence.

Great guide and a fun way to explore at night. Being able to skip the line at the market stalls was a big plus! Loved the evening walk.

Our tour guide was J - she was interested in our group, easy to chat to and full of information Lots of walking. Good food - the rice wine was lovely. And the live octopus was daunting but I tried it.
