Nearby
National Museum of Korean Contemporary History
Across from Gwanghwamun Square, covering Korea since the ports opened in 1876. Where the Seoul Museum of History takes the city, this takes the country, so the two do not overlap. Wednesday and Saturday are the only days it runs to 21:00.
Gyeongbokgung Palace
Best for a first palace visit in Seoul; allow time for the central halls and check the official schedule before adding a guard ceremony.
Gwanghwamun Gukbap
A dwaeji-gukbap house working in the clear-broth style, with boiled pork and blood sausage beside it.
Cheonggyecheon
A stream running east across the middle of the city. The work that lifted the road deck off it began in July 2003 and finished in September 2005, and the water has been walkable alongside ever since. Cheonggye Plaza, at the western end, is where most people start.
