Gyeongbokgung Palace

Unclaimed

It is a must go when in Seoul. Important place to get to know a bit more about the culture and interesting to see how detailed the buildings are. Very clean and organized. Peaceful and beautiful. I would recommend to buy the tickets straight on the machine, super easy and take cards/money. Highly recommend.

A main tourist attraction in the heart of the city. I was initially skeptical, but completely blown away by its beauty. The structures and layout showcase Korean culture at its finest—an elegant harmony of tradition and design. The subtle beauty of the place is truly beyond measure.

I imagine that it would be a very hot place to explore in the summer as there is minimal shade, but during our visit in May we were lucky to have lovely weather. We explored the palace grounds for 1-2 hours. There were many people in traditional outfits. The price is very inexpensive for such a lovely experience. Highly recommend.

A must in Seoul ! Other early in the morning to avoid crowd! Dress up in Korean costume and you get in for free! Plan to be there for 2 hours to see all the chambers and the garden!!! Yes, it is cheesy to dress up in costumes but everyone es to to be a princess! Yes, I was tempted but decided to dress up modern to compare with the past and be unique rather than blend in..

Wonderful palace that needs to be seen in person. The beautiful architecture and designs are amazing. Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes because the palace grounds are very spread out. Highly recommend seeing this historic place if you're able to visit Seoul, Korea.
