Deoksugung

Its currently the height of cherry blossom season and apparently the Seoul palaces are amongst the best places to see all the trees in bloom. Yesterday, I went to Deoksugung which is opposite City Hall Plaza and is a little oasis of tranquillity in the middle of the city.

The Palace was occupied by Korean royalty until the Japanese occupation around the beginning of the 20th Century. The grounds also contain two Western style buildings designed by an English architect housing the National Museum of Art (see if you can guess which ones).
