Sleep in and get ready for a day of sightseeing, visiting elegant structures and palaces. The first stop of the day is a tour of Deoksugung Palace, with a history dating back to its construction in the early 1600s. The palace is surrounded by Western architecture, a feeling not matched by other palace tours. After the tour, take a short walk to Seoul’s City Hall, where you can admire the Renaiassance-style architecture. Finish the day by walking to the Hwangudan Altar. The complex is the oldest set of buildings you will explore during the tour, dating to A.D. 983. Finish the day at the hotel.
The third day is all about shopping and sampling local foods. Go to the Namdaeman Market for some shopping and food. This local market provides for lots of opportunities to taste local delicacies. Throughout the day, make sure to sample as much local cuisine as you can muster. Finish the day here before your night flight from Incheon Airport.
