This is the main place for visiting in Seoul, South Korea. Very colourful and authentic. Located in the very center of the city, not far from the museum of Modern Art so, it's convenient to see both places in one day. The best part of seeing the King Palace is to enjoy the changing of the guard - the most colourful ceremony I've ever seen.
