What travelers are saying
- 747dchBengaluru, India3 contributionsThe entry and exit to the Palace is very well managed. Taking a tour in hanbok costume makes it even more special. Our English speaking guide was very nice too and she explained the history very wellWritten May 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marion FNew York City, NY276 contributionsThis is a must do for adults and anyone with kids.
Tracing Koreas history thru its wars from the foundation of the country to modern day war and peace efforts the museum give a really great snapshot of not just Korea's start but the similar points in history in other parts of the world as well.
Very interactive, there were lots of video displays available in multiple languages and the top floor has video gamesWritten May 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - JosephliyenCalgary, Canada828 contributionsMyeongdong is unique because it has more than just shopping. There is a beautiful cathedral, some decent food in the area, the nanta show, and unique street designs. It also has specifically the night market like food stalls, some are good but some are ripoff. Make sure you walk down the entire street before you buy, the prices of the same food between stalls can be different.
Other than that, shopping streets/Malls in south Korea are like churches in Italy. You will get fatigued real quick after you have been to the 5th Young, 7th art box, 3rd kakao friends and 4th aland. They are all the same. , which is worth a visit on its own, Brace yourself for a lot of repetitive shops if you have been to hongdae or a few other shopping districts in seoul.Written May 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
