Gyeongbokgung Palace was the first royal palace built by the Joseon Dynasty, three years after the Joseon Dynasty was founded. Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace was located at the heart of newly appointed capital of Seoul and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces, Gyeongbokgung served as the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty.

This place is a must visit place when you are in Seoul. It's one of the most beautiful and grand palaces I've been to in Asia. I'm sure you'll feel like you travelled back in time while exploring the palace. If you are into historical kdramas, you are at the right place!
Since Gyeongbokgung Palace is located near many other attractions. I would recommend you to visit SamCheongDong, Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong and Cheongwadae along side with it. I would advise you to spend half a day to a full day visiting these places. Also, be sure to stop by Tosokchon for lunch to try the best Samgyetang(Chicken Ginseng Soup) in Seoul!
Directions: Take subway Line 3 to Gyeongbokgung Stn. Exit 5. Walk 5 minutes.
