Nearby
Seodaemun Prison History Hall
A prison opened in 1908 and used through the colonial period and beyond, now run as a museum. Cell blocks and the execution building survive; the site is registered as the Former Seodaemun Prison. It closes on Mondays, and its hours differ between summer and winter.
Gyeonghuigung Palace
Free, rarely crowded, and small enough to see properly in half an hour — the palace to add when the ticketed ones are full or already closed for the day.
Gyeonggyojang
The two-storey Western-style house that served as the returned Provisional Government's offices and its members' lodgings, from Kim Ku's arrival from China in 1945 until he was shot dead in his second-floor study on 26 June 1949. Built in 1938 as Jukcheomjang, the residence of the gold-mining magnate Choi Chang-hak, it lost its interior first to embassy use and then to a hospital, was restored from 2010 and reopened to the public on 2 March 2013. It still stands inside the grounds of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital and is run as a branch of the Seoul Museum of History.
Seoul Museum of History
Next to Gyeonghuigung, laying out in order how Hanyang became today's Seoul — the right first-day stop for getting the shape of the city. It closes on Mondays, which is exactly when several of the palaces are open.
Stories about this place
- What the broth is made of — eight Seoul houses, seven different bases
Beef, ox knee, beef stock with loach, pork twice, a whole chicken, cod, and sausage. Eight Seoul houses whose signature is a single bowl of soup, arranged by what that soup is actually made from. A bowl costs between 11,000 and 20,000 won, four of them shut for part of the afternoon, and two publish no hours at all.
