A 90-minute drive brings you to the National Museum—the largest museum in Korea. It houses precious Korean cultural assets that eloquently tell the story of Korea’s fascinating history, from ancient times to the modern era. You will have just over an hour to browse here. The museum is located near Yongsan Park, wooded grassland with a pond that serves as a natural habitat for various species of birds, as well as more than 80 different species of trees. You will see the War Memorial of Korea which displays an enormous array of collections and wartime relics. Other galleries in the museum depict cultural activities, research and analysis, social training, academic publications, international cultural exchange programs, concerts, and more. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and a folk song performance before you continue with your tour. Between the tall buildings of Incheon, discover the Hanok Village (Traditional Houses). This tiny village has five restored traditional Korean houses and a pavilion, a pond and a time capsule—the perfect spot to take a walk in quiet surroundings. In the heart of the city, you will find the cultural respite of Insadong. This is an area of art galleries, traditional craft shops, antique art dealers and traditional teahouses.
