Seoul's Unmissable Icons

Seoul's landscape is defined by Joseon-era landmarks, including the 14th-century Gyeongbokgung and Deoksugung palaces, and the traditional Bukchon Hanok Village. The city’s commercial history is preserved in Gwangjang and Namdaemun markets, which date back to 1905 and the 15th century respectively. Major cultural institutions like the National Museum of Korea house extensive historical artifacts, while the Namsan Seoul Tower provides the city’s highest vantage point at 236 meters. These icons are complemented by the Jogyesa Zen Buddhist temple and the recently opened Blue House public park.
