Top 10 Things to do in Sogong-dong, South Korea

October 2, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

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.

Jeongdong Observatory

Reviewed By sms405 - Shanghai, China

I walked past this Seoul City Hall Seosomun building and curiosity made me go inside and up to the 13the floor. The view of Jeongdong in this observatory is awesome. It seems like you don't have to buy any beverage or dessert in the cafe inside to see the view. I walked in and looked at the view and took pictures. There are also historical pictures of the area in a nearby small room and a brochure to tell you the history of this place. It is not on the main path of things to see, but it is definitely worth checking out.

Deoksugung

This mid-15th-century palace houses the Royal Museum.

Reviewed By MsCarefreeTraveler - Singapore, Singapore

Deoksugung is the only palace in Seoul where you can experience being a Royal Palace Chief Gatekeeper and take an active part in the Changing of Royal Guards Ceremony (not just as a spectator). Unlike other palaces, you can also enter the palace grounds at night to enjoy a moonlit stroll. Currently, an exhibition of costumes and accessories from the K-drama Mr. Sunshine is being held in the palace. Beyond the palace, you can explore the historic neighborhood and the famous Stonewall Walkway along the palace walls. You can find film locations from K-dramas like Goblin.
