Yes, the Taj Mahal is a palace! This gorgeous white marble building, one of the world’s most recognizable and well-known, needs no explanation. Just go, already!
This unique palace in Tokyo is actually still in use by Japan’s emperor. Don’t expect a tour, however: the Imperial Palace is only open for tours on two days per year!
Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace is also still in use, being inhabited by the King of Cambodia. It was completed in 1866 and has survived for over a century and a half.
You’re guaranteed to never forget your your visit to this palace complex in the center of Bangkok. Ornately decorated and colorful, it’s a visual masterpiece.
Now, as we move from the ornate to the more restrained, the Potala Palace in Tibet was the residence of the Dalai Lama until he fled in 1959. It’s now a gorgeous monument to Tibetan Buddhism.
