Visiting the Gyeongbokgung Palace with the changing of the guard ceremony was very interesting. We also enjoyed walking through the Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong and the Kwang Jang Market (substituted for the N Seoul Tower since we experienced it the night before)!
Also, our guide Brian did an excellent job explaining each location we visited as well as Korean history which was invaluable to our understanding of all things Korean!
