Today you start your trip with the fantastic Potala Palace, which has always been the winter residence of the Dalai Lama. The 33rd king of Tibet used it in the 7th century. The potala Palace's most valuable collections are the golden commemorative stupas of the former Dalai Lama and the meditation cave of the 33rd Tibetan king. 

After lunch, you continue to the Jokhang temple, founded in the 7th century by the 33rd king of Tibet, to promote the Buddhist religion. Inside, you can see the Sakyamuni Buddha statue as it was when he was twelve years old - perhaps the most revered object in Tibetan Buddhism. Around the temple is Barkhor Street, where you can practice "Kora" with pilgrims and locals. Barkhor market is also a great place to buy locally made handicrafts and souvenirs.
