Seoul’s Palaces
Overview: It’s been a while since I’ve been there but check out Gyeongbokgung palace, which was the royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyeongbok_Palace.
This palace is located on Sejong-no and is accessible at the entrance with ramps veering to the side of the steps at the entrance inside the grounds. The dirt and pavement inside the grounds were flat and easy to negotiate.
Changdeok Palace – this palace is built on sprawling grounds with ponds, wooden sitting areas with the traditional curving roofs and walkways. You can see the huge Seoul Tower spiraling through the sky. Impressive.
The Korean Folk Museum is also located on or near the grounds here. The structures themselves present a challenge with a lot of high thresholds.

Accessibility: The entrance to the palaces and/or grounds of the palaces are accessible. I believe there was a fairly large up to Changdeok Palace. Gyeongbokgung palace is on flat ground off the sidewalk. The palace structures inside, of course, presented problems but again, just seeing them from the outside was enough.
