Introduction
Gyeongbokgung Palace is located in a corner of central Seoul, the first palace constructed during the Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung features gorgeous scenery all year round, with cherry blossoms in the spring, green trees in summer, ginkgo trees in autumn, and pearly white snow in winter. Korean dramas, such as "Da Jang Geum", "The House of Kings", and "You from the Stars" have all been filmed here. The east side of Gyeongbokgung Palace is Geonchunmun Gate, with Yeongchumun in the west, Sinmumun in the north, and Gwanghwamun in the south. Gwanghwamun Gate is the main entrance to the palace, featuring exquisite craftsmanship, clever architecture, and a magnificent stylistic design. The changing of the guard ceremony is certainly worth a watch.

The most beautiful palace in seoul, a great tips is to rent an hanbok (traditional clothing), if you do so, the entry to the palace is free. Moreover, you can enjoy visiting this place in the closing people where wearing then. No need to feel strange about it a lot of people are doing so, the fees of renting it is between 10 000 ₩ to 35 000₩ depending the model and the place you choose.
a perfect place for photo ops! the Hanbok rentals are outside the palace but you can get in the palace for free if you wear traditional clothing in!
This was the busiest but also one of the most beautiful palaces. I loved every minute spent here! I was lucky enough to arrive just before the free English guided tour around the palace which was excellent and highly informative. They give free tours in English, Chinese and Korean so be sure to look up what times these are.
The Gyeongbokgung Palace is the biggest and best of the four palaces in Seoul . It is the only one of the four palaces to be opened on Monday. the atea it covers s quite large so you should plan at least three hours here . the late afternoon seems to have the least amount of crowds . There is a smsll heritage village attached to explore . There is a museum to explore as well. The garden area is under construction but should reopen soon . There is a small fee for entry . if you have only enough time for one palace in Seoul , then pick this one .
