Deokstgung is one of the main palaces of Chosun Dynasty. It has interesting early modern buildings and municipal museum inside of it. The stone-wall alley street along the palace has very scenic charms so I'd suggest you try walking along the street.

It's Seoul City Hall. There are two structures - the old modern building used to be the city hall building but is now turned into a public library, while the glass structure behind it is now the official city hall. They have a very large ground in front of it and sometimes they have outdoor activities, concerts or ice-skating(in the winter) - sort of like Hôtel de Ville in Paris so you might want to check it out.

Completed in 1893, Yakhyeon Church was the first Catholic Church to be ever built in Korea. After decades of prosecution, Emperor Gojong finally allowed Christianity in 1886 after signing Traite d'Amitie et de Commerce Entre la France et la Coree with France. It was spearheaded by French Priest E. G. Coste and being one of the first western-style building was a point of interest for people in late Chosun Dynasty.

Parks & Nature

Seosomun Historic Park is the scenic park for quick resting and walk. The location of Seosomun Park is a historic location where as being right outside the walled gate, it was the place of large markets and for such reasons the site of execution to get mass attention in a way familiar to Place de la Concorde in Paris. It was the site where lots of Christians were executed in late 19C when Christianity was first introduced to Korea. It's currently being renovated into Seosomun Historic and Cultural Museum. To be completed in late '17, if you are a Christian or interested in the historic transportation of Chosun Dynasty in late 19th to 20th Century, it's a must-visit site :)
