Deoksugung

The next palace on our tour was Deoksugung, also known as the Palace of Virtuous Longevity. We arrived around 9:30 am and found out there was no changing of the guards nor tours on Chuseok. Admission was free on Chuseok. We took a look at the traditional Korean pavilions and the modern Western buildings and came back to see the changing of the guards on another day. We used the ticket included in our Integrated Ticket of Palaces for W10000 for our return visit.

Very colorful Changing of the Guards, held daily at 10:30 am, 2 pm & 3 pm.
