Then we will go to Bukchon - a traditional village in the heart of the metropolis. Here we will try on a traditional Korean costume - hanbok, and make memorable photos in this unique quarter. Lunch at the Gogung Restaurant in Insadon.
After dinner, we are waiting for a completely unique show at the famous Nantes Theater, during which musical compositions will be performed on the most strange and inappropriate for this "tools" - on plates, chopsticks, buckets, mops. The Nantes show is filled with sparkling humor, and you do not need to know Korean in order to understand it. After the show, we'll visit Wolhyang Makgeolli, where we will try the traditional Korean alcoholic drink of maccoli (menu selection and tasting are paid separately).

DAY 3-4
Demilitarized Zone, Chogesa Temple and a cruise on the Hagan River
Let's visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The DMZ divides the Korean Peninsula into two halves, North and South Korea. This region suffered most during the war, and it was here in 1953 that a truce was signed. Now the Demilitarized Zone is open to tourists who can learn more about the Korean War.
Note: It is necessary to have a passport with you. Recommended comfortable shoes.
After lunch we will visit the Buddhist temple of Jogyesa (the heart of Korean Zen Buddhism). We are waiting for a welcoming ceremony and a tour of the temple, followed by a tea ceremony with monks, meditation and a master class on making lotuses. After visiting the temple of Choges we return to the hotel for a short rest.
In the evening - cruise on the river Hagan. Gala dinner, live music and beautiful landscapes are the best way to complete a trip to South Korea.
