A great place to immerse yourself in the time of Joseon))) I can't say how much it costs to enter the palace, but if you rent a hanbok, it will be free. The rental price starts from 25 thousand won. The kit includes the hanbok itself and a handbag. You can also do your hair for an additional fee. There are many shops with hanbok rentals, they are located next to the palace along its entire length. It is very beautiful inside the palace. I don't know how it is on normal days, but we were lucky enough to see one scene and a demonstrative changing of the guard, it was interesting. The only thing IS, if you choose a different costume (not hanbok), then the entrance will be paid for you, in our tour 2 girls got so fucked up))) The time spent in the palace is unlimited, but, of course, within the working schedule of the palace itself)
A very beautiful palace. If you rent a hanbok, then the entrance to the palace is free, so there are a lot of people in hanboks on its territory - it is very atmospheric.
A stunning landmark that attracts hundreds of tourists, and I was no exception. I went at the end of March, it was cool and windy. When visiting this complex, stock up on water and a snack, because you can spend at least 1.5 hours watching - if you gallop. If you walk around the complex and take pictures for at least 3 hours. Comfortable shoes are required.
Be sure to visit Seoul for the first time! Very instagrammable) There are a lot of Koreans in hanboks. (you can rent it yourself). In the evening, you can get to open concerts
A cool complex. But I liked the park around, not the temples. There are rather two of them - internal and external. The palace itself is cool, but there are a lot of people, sand getting into shoes and a huge area. Yes, and it is not particularly beautiful, large-scale, but there is no greenery.
And the park around is the coolest. Everything is well-groomed, banal and lots of statues. Pond. Gorgeous flowers
Must visit!
The largest palace in the historical center of Seoul. If you walk slowly, then you should allocate about 3 hours. There are excellent free museums to the left and right of the palace (they are small, you will spend no more than an hour in each)
A lot of tourists go in rented national costumes. It looks colorful. I was upset that the complex is actually a new building. It was restored several decades ago.
It's a beautiful place, everything is tidy and clean

It's beautiful, but for once. There is a souvenir shop in the Seoul Museum itself with very affordable prices. You should not be afraid to buy something there as a keepsake.
The most beautiful palace complex. An incredibly atmospheric place. You can rent a national costume, take beautiful photos in them, and watch the changing of the guard. I recommend you to visit.
It's beautiful, interesting, cheap entrance, all in national costumes. But in the heat, you can't find shade and it's dusty, since sand and a lot of people raise it
Perhaps the most spectacular of Seoul's palaces. There is a regular changing of the guard in front of the gate - it looks quite spectacular.
On the site of the royal kitchen is a mini cafe serving tea and traditional sweets in a historic building, the staff is dressed in traditional clothes.
A beautiful palace complex. The entrance is only 3 chonics (3000von or $ 3) to visit the main palace and 10 chonics to visit another + 1 palace, which has nothing special.
