Day 1: An Arrival into Futuristic Aesthetics – May 27
Upon landing at Incheon International Airport, your adventure begins. Seoul, a city where ancient meets ultramodern, invites you with open arms. After settling into your chosen accommodations, you'll be introduced to the architectural marvel of Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). As the sun sets, the building transforms with a display of lights that dance across its curvaceous metallic façade. It's not just a sight to behold; it's an immersive experience into Seoul's innovative spirit.
Your first dinner in Seoul will be at a local vegan restaurant, where the flavors of Korea will come alive in a plant-based feast, setting a delicious precedent for the days to come.

Day 2: Panoramic Splendors and Cultural Delights – May 28
With the new day comes a new adventure. After a vegan breakfast that showcases the versatility of Korean ingredients, we'll ascend to the N Seoul Tower. The stunning vistas from the top are a photographer's dream and a memory maker for all. The Namsan Cable Car ride up to the tower adds an element of excitement to the morning.
For lunch, we'll be visiting Plantude, an establishment at the forefront of Seoul's vegan culinary scene. Their innovative dishes will delight even the most discerning foodies.
Post-lunch, it's time to roll up your sleeves for a Vegan Kimchi Making class. Discover the intricate process of fermenting this staple Korean side dish. The afternoon is your canvas – explore the bustling Namdaemun Market, where vendors sell everything from handicrafts to electronics, and stroll through the fashion-forward district of Myeongdong.
Dinner is an elegant affair at 'A Flower Blossom on the Rice,' where the cuisine is as visually stunning as it is delicious.

Day 3: A Journey of Serenity – May 29
After enjoying a leisurely breakfast, the day's tone shifts to one of calm and introspection with a visit to Jingwansa Temple. Engage with the temple's monks and learn about their peaceful way of life. A vegan temple lunch is a culinary experience like no other, infused with flavors and a sense of peace.
In the afternoon, dressed in traditional Hanbok, you'll discover the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace. The grandeur of its halls and the beauty of its courtyards will transport you back to the Joseon Dynasty.
As dusk approaches, wander the cultural neighborhood of Insadong. Here, art galleries, traditional teahouses, and antique shops offer a quieter, more thoughtful end to a day filled with discovery.
