Your first stop in the tour is Gyeongbokgung Palace, also known as the Northern Palace, since its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces.

Continue this journey to Naksan Fortress Wall Park, where one can take a walk along the streets lined with eateries, museums, antique shops and art galleries.
