For more than five centuries, the Joseon Dynasty shaped Korea’s royal traditions, architecture, philosophy and everyday culture. Many of those stories can still be discovered today in Seoul’s royal palaces and historic neighborhoods.
TOURFARM’s Royal Palaces & Joseon Heritage journey goes beyond simply visiting beautiful buildings. With guided interpretation, visitors can discover how kings and queens lived, how royal ceremonies were conducted and how Confucian ideas influenced the design of palaces and the society surrounding them.
From grand throne halls and palace gates to quiet gardens, traditional streets and architectural details, each place reveals a different part of Korea’s royal history.
Programs can be customized according to the interests and schedule of individual travelers, private groups and overseas travel partners.

Korea’s royal palaces become much more meaningful when visitors understand the stories behind the buildings, spaces and traditions they encounter.

Royal palace visits can also be combined with traditional neighborhoods, Korean architecture, local cuisine and cultural experiences to create a customized heritage journey in Seoul and beyond.
