Forbidden City

Discover Forbidden City Holidays

At the heart of Beijing lies the Forbidden City, one of the world's most extraordinary palace complexes and a symbol of imperial China. Once closed to all but the emperor, his household and select officials, this vast, walled city now opens its gates to visitors from around the globe. Home to 24 emperors across five centuries, the Forbidden City is a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers a fascinating glimpse into China's dynastic past.

Its grand courtyards and ceremonial halls display intricate carvings and traditional architecture that reflect ancient Chinese beliefs and craftsmanship. On our China tours, we enjoy a guided visit to the complex, allowing time to explore highlights such as the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Imperial Garden. A journey through the Forbidden City is an unforgettable step into the richness of China's cultural heritage.
