      This palace in the middle of the city is a wonderful place to immerse yourself in history. You should also look at the changing of the guard. The palace also offers some great motifs for photos.

        Beautiful area. Entrance 3,000KRW or less than 3€. Allow 2 hours. Exit to the right of the site to visit the typical districts. Do not hesitate to get lost in the many temples.
