I love walking tours where you can absorb everything at a much slower pace. It’s funny how some museums leave you fascinated and excited to learn from the exhibits and others (like the Seonnongdan Museum) can leave you with a “meh” feeling. We once visited a seahorse farm on the Big Island of Hawaii and learned that their existence is threatened by the traditional medicine practiced in many Asian countries. If practioners of traditional medicine omitted them from their pharmacies, I doubt their absence would be noticed with all the other choices!?

These are some walking tours, especially because they are free. Thanks a bunch for the amazing post, Nancie!

I’m a big fan of free walking tours. With 21 to choose from, I might want to do more than one. I think the Herb Medicine Museum is the more interesting of the two you talk about here.

Yes this is something that I would definitely do in a new city. I did one in Sydney during a weekend visit with my girlfriends a few years ago and we learnt much more in half a day than I would ever have learnt had we been sightseeing on our own.

What an interesting tour! I love that it’s completely free. I have a friend going to Seoul in Oct. and will share this with him. We’ve done a Munich tour and loved it. Looking forward to the second part of your tour.

A bit late in linking this week as we were getting ‘apostilled’ on Thursday! Love this and am sending a link to our friends who plan a stop next year in Korea!

I am a fan of free tours like this. I took like 5 during my last visit to New York. The food tours are the best. I like those wood mortars. In Puerto Rico, we use wood mortars too (they are not that pretty though).

The herb medicine museum looks like it would be interesting. I grew up in Asia so herbal medicine isn’t new to me, but so much of it is still a mystery to me!

I’ve been out of the loop for a bit – but I always love these peaks into other worlds when I visit. Happy travels!
