World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace and Secret garden (shhhh!)

Changgyeonggung and Changdeokgung Palaces and Secret garden will be free entrance if you wear a traditional hanbok (which you surely should cause I think I enjoyed hanbok experience more than the palaces themselves,.. girls be girls I guess!)

The place is massive and can easily take a few hours to explore. This complex is much less crowded than Gyeongbokgung Palace, so it is much more pleasant to my liking (architecture wise if you aren't an anthropologist or historian - you'll see very little difference).

It is said online that Secret Garden is by reservation only but lady at the entrance just waved us in once she saw us in hanboks.

There is a vending machine for drinks at one place but Id recommend to take some water and even snacks with you.

Tip: these palaces and Secret Garden are closed on Monday!

Id say this one will be my first choice to what palace to visit in Seoul.
