This palace in Seoul located across from City Hall plaza is very nice. They have a palace guard program where you can sign up and be a part of a ceremony.

This is an amazing place and we had so much fun! We have tried their tradition costume (Hanbok) and tour around the palace. A huge place to roam around and very interesting history!
