Places to Go
Kwang-hwa-mun
The Korean word “mun” means gate or door, so Kwang-hwa-mun is really the “Kwang-hwa Gate.” It is in the north central part of downtown.
The Kyeong-bok Palace is behind the gate. It is open to tourists every day except Tuesday, and admission costs only 700 won.
Myeong-Dong
If you are in the mood for something more modern, try the trendy Myeong-Dong district.
It is not a good place to book a hotel; the shops in the area blare music through their loudspeakers until 11 p.m.
