Best Forbidden City Tours & Trips

The Forbidden City is one of the top attractions in China, the world's largest imperial palace complex. Built from 1406 to 1420, it housed 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties until 1924. Nowadays, it is managed by the Palace Museum and contains many artifacts and artworks. Surrounded by massive walls and a wide moat, the Forbidden City encompasses over 180 acres and contains more than 900 preserved buildings. The Forbidden City tour takes you to the essence of traditional Chinese palace architecture and the preciousness of the royal collections. The nearby Tiananmen Square and Temple of Heaven are also well worth a visit.

2-Day Adventure Tour from Beijing: Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City, Mutianyu Great Wall, Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace

A Great Short Trip from Beijing

The itinerary was well thought out, mixing iconic sites with some off-the-beaten-path spots. We especially loved the peaceful boat ride and the history shared by our knowledgeable guide. It was the perfect blend of adventure and culture.
