Seoul

Seoul is mountains, palaces and late nights, with hanbok rustling across palace courtyards.

Gyeongbokgung, the main royal palace, was burned in 1592 during the Japanese invasions. It stayed in ruins for more than 270 years, until a regent rebuilt it in the 1860s, hundreds of buildings at once.

Trevlo's audio tour of Gyeongbokgung tells that story as you walk through its gates and courtyards. Start when you like. Your first tour is free.
