The “Grand Palaces” were built by the kings of the Joseon Dynasty who ruled the peninsula for nearly five centuries. Unfortunately, many of palaces were damaged and destroyed by the Japanese during their invasion of Korea . Yet, some of the original structures still stand today and many portions have been restored to their former glory. The palaces are a beautiful cultural experience and easily accessible by the Seoul Metro. Most are within walking distance from one another.
Changdeokgung
Changgyeonggung
My favorites are Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung because of their peaceful gardens and city backdrop. Both palaces are directly next to each other.
