Morning in Seoul: Changing of the Guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace 👑🇰🇷

If you’re spending the morning in Seoul, I highly recommend starting with Gyeongbokgung Palace. I planned my visit to catch the Changing of the Guard ceremony at 10:00 a.m. (there’s another one at 2:00 p.m.). It’s a spectacular sight — vibrant, traditional, and absolutely free to watch. No ticket required! 🎺🫶🏻

We didn’t go deeper into the palace grounds — I’ve seen it so many times in videos that it almost felt like déjà vu. 😄

Instead, we explored the National Palace Museum of Korea, which showcases everyday life and treasures of the Joseon royal family. I actually enjoyed it even more than yesterday’s museum — it’s smaller, but really atmospheric and beautifully curated.

And don’t miss the gift shop! It’s stunning — full of both cute trinkets and elegant items you’d proudly display at home. ✨
