[Photo Tour] Contrast of Seoul: Royal Secrets of Unhyeongung, Changdeokgung, and Changgyeonggung (UNESCO)

Discover the perfect balance between real history and the mystique of the Joseon dynasty! This tour is designed to show you the true essence of Korean royalty through three emblematic spaces that hide the most fascinating pages of our past, all in a pleasant guided walk in Spanish.

While most tourists only stay at the main and busiest palace (Gyeongbokgung), we will explore corners with a much more intimate, profound charm and fewer crowds.

What will we visit and discover together?

• Unhyeongung Palace (Free Entry!): The epicenter of power in the 19th century. We will learn about the history of the "Shadow King" (Heungseon Daewongun), his colossal power, and the secrets of a spectacular royal wedding.

• Changdeokgung Palace (UNESCO World Heritage): The palace most loved by kings. We will learn about the philosophy of 'Pungsu-jiri' (Korean Feng Shui) at the historic Geumcheonkyo Bridge and how architecture merges immortally with nature.

• Changgyeonggung Palace: The palace of filial piety and nostalgia, originally created for the queen mothers, which houses both the beauty of the royal gardens and the most moving moments of our history.

📸 A very special gift for you!
