Gwanghwamun Vibes🏯

#seoulspots

If you’re seeking that classic Seoul city vibe, Gwanghwamun Square delivers big—think royal history, statues of national heroes, and wide-open space for photos and strolling. Best of all, it’s totally free, making it a must-stop on any Seoul adventure!

🗺️ Route & Must-do:
Start your walk at the massive main gate, Gwanghwamun, then wander straight into the Square: snap a photo with King Sejong the Great’s statue (legendary inventor of Hangul), and Admiral Yi Sun-sin (naval hero). If you love monuments, check out the engraved stories along the fountains. It’s the perfect spot for your “I’m in Korea!” travel pic!

📸 Insta-worthy angles:
Shoot with Gwanghwamun Gate as your backdrop for those epic “front of Seoul” shots. The statues against the city skyline work great for atmospheric photos, especially if you catch sunset when the lights come on. Tip: Stand a bit off-center for artsy depth!

⏰ Visiting tips:
Since it’s open 24/7, you can swing by early morning for peaceful vibes, or in the evening for illuminated city scenes. No ticket needed—just walk in and soak it up.

⚠️ Key precautions:
Gwanghwamun Square is breezy, especially in fall, so bring a light jacket. It’s a busy crossroads—look out for bikes and heavy pedestrian traffic.
