Opis

Walk through Changdeokgung, a UNESCO World Heritage, and discover the sorrowful fates of the Joseon royal family hidden behind the palace’s splendor. An engaging, easy-to-follow 90-minute walking tour
Get to know Changdeokgung, a palace that was home to Joseon’s royal family for centuries, through the sorrowful stories that stand in contrast to its beauty.

This 90-minute storytelling walk focuses on the human side of the dynasty. Why did a king destroy the family of the queen who helped him win the throne? Why was a crown prince locked in a rice chest by his own father? And what happened when Korea’s last emperor faced the end of his empire?

As you walk through the palace, each space reveals another chapter of royal life, from the private struggles behind the throne to the final days of the Korean Empire.

Rather than overwhelming you with dates and architectural details, the tour connects history to the people who lived it, making even the most unfamiliar stories easy to follow. No background in Korean history is needed.

Yes, these are sad stories, but the tour itself is anything but heavy. Told in a relaxed, conversational way, with surprising details and real drama, it’s a walk you’ll enjoy as much as you’ll remember.

The walk finishes at Nakseonjae, a quiet corner of the palace where the last members of the royal family once lived. Take your time there for photos, questions and a last look around.
