Looking to make the most out of your Covenant Day weekend? This is your last chance to avail of a three-day Seoul getaway package.
Century Travel and Asiana Airlines will be offering a three-day, two-night package to Seoul until March 10, 2006.
The trip will take place on March 24-26, 2006, perfectly timed to provide travelers with three whole days of worry-free sightseeing and shopping at South Korea’s wondrous capital. (March 24 is Covenant Day, a non-working holiday in the Commonwealth.)
The tour package comes easy on the pocket, at $610 per person on a twin-sharing basis. A round-trip ticket to Seoul alone could cost almost $500.
However, the Seoul Getaway includes not only airfare, but also hotel accommodation for two nights, daily breakfast, entrance fees for a city tour with lunch, fees for an English-speaking tour guide, and air-conditioned bus transfer between the airport and the hotel.
The half-day sightseeing tour includes a visit to Changkok Palace, Secret Garden, Chongyesa Temple, Insadong antique alley, and the center of Korean Buddhism, Jogyesa Temple. Tour participants will also have a chance to explore Changduk Palace. This imperial residence features the Biwon Garden, which was designated as a world heritage by UNESCO in 1997.
The sightseeing tour will take place on the first day of the trip, leaving travelers two whole days to see the city on their own or avail of optional tours, which come at extra but reasonable prices.
On March 25, the difficult choice for an optional tour is between the world-renowned Itaewon Shopping Street, or East Gate Market and the Korean Folk Village.
On March 26, tour participants can make the most of the last day by going on adventures at the Lotte World Amusement Park, the world’s largest indoor theme park according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Booking and payment deadline for the Seoul, Korea Getaway is on March 10, particularly for those who need a visa to travel to Korea. Those who need more information may call Century Travel at 235-3708 to 10, or send an email at customerservice@centurytravelagency.com. (Agnes E. Donato)
