Place is really nice to see the korean history especially Joseon Dynasty was founded by King Taejo (Yi Seong-gye). This palce is the main royal Palace in Seoul.


Also another palce is recommendable to visit especially Changdeokgung Palce and secret garden. There is tour for secret garden but limited numbers for tour. If you are lucky than you can go in but reservation is recommendable.

Now here is second day tour,
The first day, you did a lot so second day is for rest.

Lotte tower is the tallest building in korea, every place in seoul can see this building.

Here is upper place from the SIGNIEL hotel.
This floor is 81st floor and Michelin place is in the floor. The restaurants are expensive but nice service and worth it for two hour views in 81th floor.


If you want to see the observatory in this floor, you can buy ticket in Lotte World Tower.
This building is 5th tallest building in the world.


If you need adventure and pay much more money then you can do skybridge tour.


It could be really short but you can get experience of standing 123 stories and 555 meters high.


After enjoy the tower and shopping more in Lotte, you can go for another observatory place which is in nature.

You can go little hiking or you can go by bus and   cable car.
I would recommend to go 1 hour before sunset.


After you can go Myeongdong near this place.
Myeongdong has many places to shopping. You can also see the cosmetic shops or street food at night.

So last day, you can do anything but if you don't have time for flight then I would recommend near the airport area. This place is called Yeido.

You are familiar to the park near office area. So Han river will be more nice to you.

Yeouido Han river park is nice to rest rest of journey. You can borrow a picnic set(seat+desk) with garentee fee. In here many people eat cup ramen or chicken with beer.


So hope you enjoy travel in seoul and this is the place whre I trying to introduce when my friend is coming from other countries. You can also pick the place where you want to visit.
