Snabba fakta: The palace rises 117 meters above the Lhasa valley and comprises over 1,000 rooms, including chapels, shrines, and libraries. Visitors can explore its vast collection of ancient scriptures, murals, and Tibetan artifacts that tell centuries of history.
Höjdpunkter: Explore the Red Palace at the core, where sacred halls glow with gold and murals depict Tibetan Buddhist teachings. Unique sacred butter sculptures, carved painstakingly from colored yak butter, decorate the temples during special festivals.

- Don’t miss the view from the top terraces for panoramic city shots.
- Avoid midday when crowds peak and heat rises inside the thick walls.
