Gyeongbokgung Palace was built as the official palace of the Joseon dynasty by Yi Seong-gye, who becomes King Taejo and the founder of the new regime. Gyeongbokgung Palace is commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location in the north of Changdeokgung Palace in the east and Gyeonghuigung Palace in the west. Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful and is the largest of all five palaces. Many Joseon kings were crowned here, including the 2nd King Jeongjong, 4th King Sejong, 6th King Danjong, 7th King Sejo, 9th King Seongjong, 11th King Jungjong, and the 13th King Myeongjong. The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong. The assassination of Empress Myeongseong, however, resulted in Gyeongbokgung Palace losing its function as a royal palace, eventually witnessing the downfall of the Joseon dynasty. Gyeongbokgung Palace retains the original Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, a prime example of Joseon architecture, and the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion and pond. The sculptures in the Geunjeongjeon Hall exemplify Joseon-era sculpture techniques. The west side of the area outside Heungnyemun Gate is occupied by the National Palace Museum of Korea, while the eastern side of Hyangwonjeong Pavilion within the Gyeongbokgung Palace is occupied by the National Folk Museum of Korea.

Die Zeremonie der Wachablösung beim Haupteingang nicht verpassen.
Wenn man die traditionellen Kleider ( gibt es um den ganzen Palast herum zu mieten, 10‘000 - 15‘000 Won ) trägt, ist der Eintritt frei und man kann raus und reingehen.
Ansonsten ist der Ticketpreis um die 10‘000 Won, aber es besteht keine Möglichkeit von Re-entry.
Must See in Seoul!
The architecture of Gyeongbokgung is stunning, with its colorful roofs, intricate wooden carvings, and traditional motifs. The palace's main hall, Geunjeongjeon, is particularly impressive, showcasing the best of Korean palace architecture. Exploring the various pavilions, gates, and courtyards provides a sense of the scale and complexity of the palace.
One of the highlights of visiting Gyeongbokgung is the Changing of the Guard ceremony, with vibrant display of traditional Korean attire, music, and choreography. It takes place several times a day (around 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and sometimes at 3:00 PM). Exact times can vary, so it's best to check the palace's schedule in advance to plan your visit accordingly.

Uyy
When I purchased at the window it wasn't entirely clear that a single ticket covered my group. When I enquired whether the other members didn't require a pass (as seniors), the lady serving screamed at me that it was a ticket for everyone, as if I should have known straight away.
Firstly, it wasn't obvious, because the ticket's admission details were written in Hangul (which I can't read). Even if I could read it, was it really necessary to treat visitors this way.
And if the staff insist that this pathetic attitude is the correct way to conduct themselves, then I recommend avoiding this place altogether.
Il y a du monde mais c'est tellement vaste que c'est en fait assez tranquille.
Ne pas rater la relève de la garde à 10h et 16h.
Astuce : acheter le billet combiné permettant de visiter les temples rotaux
Il est situé dans un endroit calme et paisible.
