Location: Seoul, Korea
Subway Stop: Gyeongbokgung
Admission required
Gyeongbokgung was a much bigger palace than I had anticipated. Who knew the Koreans lived in such grandeur and luxury once upon a time! The gardens are beautiful and vast. Since so much of Korea is so westernized, this was a good way to see some of old Korea. Check the website before visiting as there are certain day(s) of the week the palace is closed.
There are a few other palaces in Seoul that I didn't get around to visiting, but a few of my friends have seen. If you get around to seeing them, please let me know how you liked them!
