Changdeokgung & Secret Garden
Seoul, South KoreaAbout Changdeokgung & Secret Garden
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and often called the loveliest of Seoul's Joseon palaces, laid out to follow the hills rather than a strict grid. Its rear Secret Garden (Huwon), with pavilions and ponds, can only be seen on timed guided tours — some in English — and online tickets open six days ahead and sell out, so book early. The palace is closed on Mondays.
