Changdeokgung

  Changdeokgung sits in the heart of Seoul, nestled within the Jongno district. This historic palace, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, was built in 1405 and served as the main royal residence during the Joseon Dynasty. Notable for its secret garden, which spans over 78,000 square meters, visitors can stroll through paths lined with various species of trees and tranquil pavilions. Autumn is particularly beautiful here, especially in October, when vibrant foliage creates a picturesque backdrop. Guests can explore the well-preserved architecture and learn about the palace's rich history through guided tours.
