I recently visited Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, and it was an amazing experience! From the very first minutes, I was fascinated by the beauty of architecture and the grandeur of this historical place. Walking through the manicured gardens, I felt the atmosphere of Korean history and culture. 🇰🇷
I was particularly impressed by the changing of the guard ceremony, which is a spectacle full of tradition and solemnity. I enjoyed watching the bright costumes and the precise movements of the soldiers. ❤️
One of the pleasant surprises was that the entrance to the palace is free for those who come in traditional Hanbok costume. This is a great opportunity not only to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of ancient Korea, but also to take beautiful photos in an outfit that perfectly complements the historical context. 👘
Inside the palace, you can see many beautiful halls and rooms, each of which tells its own story. I liked how the spirit of antiquity and respect for traditions are felt in every corner.
I can't help but mention the magnificent views of Mount Bukhansan against the backdrop of the palace — it's just mesmerizing! I took a lot of photos that will remind me of my visit to this amazing place. 🏞️
I recommend everyone who visits Seoul to definitely visit Gyeongbokgung. It is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place where you can feel the soul of Korea. I will definitely come back here again! 💙💙💙
Gyeongbokgung Palace is a must—visit place in Seoul!
A stunning historical landmark with a rich atmosphere. I was especially impressed by the changing of the guard ceremony and the walk through the territory — you can feel the spirit of the Joseon era. I highly recommend taking a guided tour or audio guide to delve deeper into the story. The view of the mountains and the modern urban landscape creates a unique contrast. A must-visit!
You can rent a hanbok, the entrance is free in this outfit, and the photos are good.
Be sure to visit when everything is blooming very beautifully. The architecture complements the greenery and walking with a guide is a pleasure. It is convenient when driving on the road and there is an opportunity not to spend the night, but to walk for 2-3 hours.
It's a beautiful palace, we were lucky and we got to the historical reconstruction with a lot of actors, it was interesting to see how the various ceremonies go. There are many national costume rental points nearby.
The palace and its grounds are large, there is a lot to walk and see. The ticket is free on the Discoverseulpass card. Many people wear rented national costumes.
It is interesting to take a walk, in a national costume (it is rented) admission is free. At 14 o'clock, the guard of the palace changes, it is solemn and beautiful.
Very boring!! The main palace of the city.
The entrance was 3 won per person, the palace has a larger photo zone for those who take a traditional outfit. By the way, it has been restored, so there is also no thrill of "antiquity". The territory is large, there is an island at the very end, there is a building on it, this is a unit.a place of interest.
A great place to immerse yourself in the time of Joseon))) I can't say how much it costs to enter the palace, but if you rent a hanbok, it will be free. The rental price starts from 25 thousand won. The kit includes the hanbok itself and a handbag. You can also do your hair for an additional fee. There are many shops with hanbok rentals, they are located next to the palace along its entire length. It is very beautiful inside the palace. I don't know how it is on normal days, but we were lucky enough to see one scene and a demonstrative changing of the guard, it was interesting. The only thing IS, if you choose a different costume (not hanbok), then the entrance will be paid for you, in our tour 2 girls got so fucked up))) The time spent in the palace is unlimited, but, of course, within the working schedule of the palace itself)
A very beautiful palace. If you rent a hanbok, then the entrance to the palace is free, so there are a lot of people in hanboks on its territory - it is very atmospheric.
A stunning landmark that attracts hundreds of tourists, and I was no exception. I went at the end of March, it was cool and windy. When visiting this complex, stock up on water and a snack, because you can spend at least 1.5 hours watching - if you gallop. If you walk around the complex and take pictures for at least 3 hours. Comfortable shoes are required.

Most palaces are very similar, but this one is the most important and stands out a bit-beautiful gates, a large space. There are always a lot of people in national costumes
Be sure to visit Seoul for the first time! Very instagrammable) There are a lot of Koreans in hanboks. (you can rent it yourself). In the evening, you can get to open concerts
A cool complex. But I liked the park around, not the temples. There are rather two of them - internal and external. The palace itself is cool, but there are a lot of people, sand getting into shoes and a huge area. Yes, and it is not particularly beautiful, large-scale, but there is no greenery.
And the park around is the coolest. Everything is well-groomed, banal and lots of statues. Pond. Gorgeous flowers
Must visit!
The largest palace in the historical center of Seoul. If you walk slowly, then you should allocate about 3 hours. There are excellent free museums to the left and right of the palace (they are small, you will spend no more than an hour in each)
A lot of tourists go in rented national costumes. It looks colorful. I was upset that the complex is actually a new building. It was restored several decades ago.
It's a beautiful place, everything is tidy and clean

It's beautiful, but for once. There is a souvenir shop in the Seoul Museum itself with very affordable prices. You should not be afraid to buy something there as a keepsake.
The most beautiful palace complex. An incredibly atmospheric place. You can rent a national costume, take beautiful photos in them, and watch the changing of the guard. I recommend you to visit.
It's beautiful, interesting, cheap entrance, all in national costumes. But in the heat, you can't find shade and it's dusty, since sand and a lot of people raise it
Perhaps the most spectacular of Seoul's palaces. There is a regular changing of the guard in front of the gate - it looks quite spectacular.
On the site of the royal kitchen is a mini cafe serving tea and traditional sweets in a historic building, the staff is dressed in traditional clothes.
A beautiful palace complex. The entrance is only 3 chonics (3000von or $ 3) to visit the main palace and 10 chonics to visit another + 1 palace, which has nothing special.

We came to Seoul with a friend for a week in the summer. The best city on the planet.
