Exploring Seoul never gets old

Exploring Seoul never gets old — especially when you go palace-hopping in style 😍🕌

Must-See Spot: Changgyeonggung Palace
For an ultra-Korean culture day, wander through Changgyeonggung Palace (185 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno District). Go Tuesday to Sunday, any time between 9am and 9pm (last admission at 8pm, closed Mondays!). If you love mixing history with incredible photo ops, this is the place — the blend of ancient halls and tranquil gardens is peak Seoul.

My Insider Tip: Dress up in traditional hanbok before you go! It’s not only a super fun experience, but you’ll blend right in AND snap gorgeous pics (trust me, your Gyeongbokgung moment will glow ✨). Pro move: Grab a cute oil-paper umbrella on a rainy or cloudy day for the most photogenic vibe, or wait for those crisp blue skies and ginkgo trees for vibrant outdoor shots.

Getting Around:
Seoul’s metro is a lifesaver — cheap, fast, air-conditioned AND has English signage everywhere. Changgyeonggung Palace is near Hyehwa or Anguk subway stations; just walk a few blocks and you’re there! Pick up a T-money transport card at any convenience store for easy swipes all day.

Food Recs:
Refuel with street eats outside the palace gates — hotteok (sweet pancakes) or gimbap (rice rolls) are classic, cheap snacks.

Travel Essentials:
Cards work everywhere, cash isn’t required much.
Spring and autumn get the best weather for photos!
