Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

The furniture collection is decent and you get to know quite a few things about aristocratic life in the Joseon era. The highlight for me were the fantastically restored buildings themselves, we felt very privileged to see such beautiful surroundings, especially in such an intimate tour group of overall 5 people! Where the museum really stood out: Because we booked rather last minute they only had the Korean language tour left, which we accepted just to see the place. However, they actually arranged for an English-speaking guide last minute to accommodate us, which is more than we could ask for. Only downside: You can't take photos except for one outside briefly with a limited view.
