Start your day with a traditional Korean breakfast at Gwangjang Market, famous for its bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) and hotteok (sweet pancakes), served fresh as you mingle with the locals.
Just a short walk from the palace, wander through Bukchon Hanok Village, a picturesque neighborhood highlighting traditional Korean houses (hanoks) and offering stunning views of the city.
Cap off your day with a peaceful walk along Cheonggyecheon, a beautifully restored stream that runs through downtown Seoul, offering a serene escape from the city buzz.
