The experience
A quiet evening palace visit, followed by an 11-dish Gwangjang Market food crawl.
An evening tour pairing a quiet night visit to Changgyeonggung Palace with a big Gwangjang Market food crawl of 11 or more dishes, and a lantern-lit close at Jogyesa Temple.
The market tastings run from Korean pancakes and rice cake dishes to live octopus and blood sausage — a genuine tour through the market’s specialities rather than a single sit-down meal.
