Arrive at Mt. Namsan and N Seoul Tower
Namsan is a scenic mountain located in the center of Seoul, offering pleasant walking trails and panoramic views of the city. At the summit stands N Seoul Tower, one of Seoul’s most iconic landmarks, featuring observation decks, cafés, and the famous “Locks of Love” fence. Every afternoon at 3 PM, visitors can enjoy a traditional cultural performance held near the tower, adding a meaningful touch of Korean heritage to the visit. The view from the top is breathtaking both during the day and at night. Namsan offers a peaceful blend of nature, culture, and city life all in one place.
This spot is featured in “K-Pop Demon Hunters”.

Arrive at Namsangol Hanok Village
Namsangol Hanok Village is a charming place where visitors can experience traditional Korean culture in the heart of the city. The village features five beautifully restored hanok houses that reflect the lifestyles of different social classes during the Joseon Dynasty. With a reservation and a small fee, guests can take part in various hands-on programs such as hanji (traditional paper) crafts, traditional etiquette classes, and even bow-making workshops. These activities offer a deeper understanding of Korea’s cultural traditions. Set against the backdrop of Namsan Mountain, the village provides a peaceful and educational escape from the busy city.
Arrive at Myeongdong Cathedral
Myeongdong Cathedral is the first Gothic-style Catholic church in Korea and a symbol of modern Korean history. Built in the late 19th century, it has played an important role in both religious and democratic movements. The church’s high spires and stained glass windows offer a quiet, sacred atmosphere amidst the bustle of Myeongdong. Visitors are welcome to enter the church or simply enjoy its peaceful courtyard. It remains a meaningful spiritual and cultural landmark for locals and tourists alike.
