    A beautiful palace with all the November fall leaves and trees made it more scenic everywhere. We enjoyed taking selfies and family pictures as we walked throughout the well kept palace. Stunning...

    Absolutely love the history of Korea and this is beautiful! The price to enter is cheap. We have a family of 4 (3 year old and 4 month old) and only had to pay for the two of us adults. The totally was 6,000 krw to enter. Kids are free until 9 years old I believe. The palace was really stroller friendly, but we made it work. Just very rocky and bumpy. We also went in the middle of Summer (end of July) and it was HOT. Bring a lot of water. This palace has a ton of little buildings to see. You can book a secret garden tour to see the gardens with the ponds and flowers. That would be a separate cost and has a specific time you can go. We’re glad we saw this!

    A very nice palace at the heart of the city. Entrance fee is very cheap (1,000 won), and the walking space is quite huge. I think it is best to visit the place during spring as the cherry blossoms can make the place look more vibrant, but even on a gloomy day I really like the serenity and peace the place gives. Definitely highly suggested for everyone, especially those who are on a budget but want to visit one of the palaces.

    Today 1 April 2022, I visited here. Nice weather, the palace is pretty with spring flowers spot here and there. Not 100% full bloom but still attractive!

    just wow! beautiful architecture. You just need to go and see them. There is a Cafe that sells Korean traditional tea.we had omija ice tea. It was refreshing.

    A classic Korean architecture : not so much beautiful for us (because we know Japan very well.. so you can’t compare…😉), but the parc is chilly & the temple are pretty cool …
