4D Seoul City Break

Price from $2783 per person on Twin sharing basis

Seoul, the dynamic capital of South Korea, is where centuries-old palaces meet futuristic skyscrapers and neon-lit shopping districts. A city of contrasts, it balances tradition and innovation with ease—think royal guards at Gyeongbokgung Palace just a subway ride away from the bustling tech haven of Gangnam. From sizzling street food in Myeongdong to the tranquil trails of Bukhansan National Park, Seoul offers something for every traveler. The city pulses with K-pop energy, cutting-edge fashion, and a café culture that rivals any in the world. Yet its heart still beats in hanoks (traditional houses), serene temples, and generations-old markets like Namdaemun.

Whether you're chasing cherry blossoms, hunting for skincare miracles, or diving deep into Korean history and hospitality, Seoul never stops surprising those who visit.

Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace continued to serve as the main palace until the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592 – 1598), when all of the palaces were severely damaged. It was not until about 1868 that the palace was reconstructed and expanded to a 410,000m² complex with over 500 buildings. It flourished for several decades in this state until the Japanese once again demolished the palaces during their occupation of Korea (1910-1945). The 40-year restoration project that aims to fully restore Gyeongbokgung Palace to its original form has been ongoing since 1990.

Bukchon Hanok Village was once a village of aristocrats long ago and its luxury tile roofed houses called giwas have been preserved since the Joseon Dynasty. Located in the middle of Gyeongbok Palace and Changdeok Palace, the village boasts 600 years of history in the region. Gwangjang Market is the nation’s first market and continues to thrive as popular tourist destnation today. The second floor of the market provides all of your silk, satin, and linen bed-sheet stores, which are the largest and most famous in Soeul.
