A Grand and Majestic Palace of Joseon Dynasty

#seoulspots
Gyeongbokgung (경복궁), located in the heart of Seoul, is the grandest of the Five Grand Palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty. As the main royal palace, it served as the center of government and royal life for centuries. The palace grounds are vast and meticulously restored, featuring a stunning collection of traditional Korean architecture, including the impressive Geunjeongjeon Hall, the tranquil Gyeonghoeru Pavilion floating on a lotus pond, and the beautiful Hyangwonjeong Pavilion. A visit here is a profound journey into Korea's royal history and a testament to its cultural heritage.

Reason to Recommend: I highly recommend Gyeongbokgung for history enthusiasts, first-time visitors to Korea, and anyone interested in traditional Korean architecture and culture. It’s an unmissable destination that offers a deep dive into the country’s rich past and provides a stunning visual representation of its royal history.

Transportation: Gyeongbokgung is very centrally located and easy to reach by metro.
Metro: Take Line 3 to Gyeongbokgung Station (경복궁역), and exit from Exit 5. The main entrance, Gwanghwamun Gate, is right there.
Bus: Many bus lines stop near the palace.
