It's literally off Seoul Plaza at City Hall. A cheap visit, be sure to get an Englsih language map and brochure at the gate. Outside there's the changing of the guard, which is quite light hearted. Inside several buildings to see and pleasant grounds to walk. "gung" means "palace" so Deoksugung means Deoksu palace more
