Gyeongbokgung Palace

#seoulspots

Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, the foremost of the Five Grand Palaces of the Joseon Dynasty, is located in the city center and has witnessed six hundred years of history. It is recommended to visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and experience the tranquility and solemnity of this historic site. Visitors wearing hanbok can enter for free and take gorgeous retro-style photos. Must-see sites include Geunjeongjeon Hall, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, and Hyangwonjeong Pavilion, with particularly beautiful scenery during spring and autumn. The palace also has a cultural experience zone where you can participate in traditional ceremonies or try on royal attire. Conveniently accessible, it's a 5-minute walk from Exit 5 of Gyeongbokgung Station on Subway Line 3. Nearby attractions include the National Palace Museum and Bukchon Hanok Village, which can be visited on the same trip. Highly recommended is the ginkgo avenue in autumn, where golden leaves cover the ground, creating a picturesque scene that should not be missed.
