The Intimate and Contemplative Atmosphere of Deoksugung (덕수궁)

#seoulspots

Deoksugung Palace (덕수궁) is often praised for its ability to offer a more intimate and peaceful atmosphere than other palaces in Seoul. Its smaller scale means significantly fewer crowds, allowing for a truly reflective and personal experience. The palace grounds are beautifully maintained, featuring serene ponds and green spaces.
The environment is designed to maximize tranquility. Unlike the vast, open spaces of larger palaces, Deoksugung Palace (덕수궁) has a cozy feel, making it easy to find a quiet spot to sit and admire the harmonious blend of traditional wooden structures and the palace's own Western-style garden and fountain—the first of its kind in Korea.
