Opinions GYEONGBOKGUNG PALACE (RADIANT HAPPINESS) Seoul

Un palais merveilleux où il fait bon se promener entre les différents bâtiments et les gens en costumes. Une merveille

滿壯觀的，也有搭配古裝表演，交班那段打鼓很震撼^^
如果有賣一些週邊小物做紀念就更完美了~

El lugar realmente es hermoso, si llevas la vestimenta tradicional tienes la entrada gratis, y si no pagas entrada $2.20 dólares, si hay gente por doquier pero no es una exageración, si se disfruta el paseo, definitivamente es una visita imperdible.

Gyeongbokgung (Korean: 경복궁; Hanja: 景福宮;

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.

Very beautiful historical place in Seoul. Many people wear historical clothing, which gives the place a special flair. There is a lot to see, the buildings are in good condition and the gardens are beautifully planted.

Very crowded but ticketing and entry was fast. Relatively easy to take decent pictures despite the crowd.

Sadece fotoğraf çekilmek için giderseniz beklentinizi karşılar. Bizdeki Topkapı sarayı, Dolmabahçe sarayı gibi değil. Açıklamalar, tarihi anlatımlar bulunmuyor. Dışarıdan binaları görüp fotoğraf çekilebilirsiniz sadece. Öğlen 12 gibi gittik, çok kalabalıktı. Yürünmüyordu. Girişi hanbok geleneksel kıyafetlerinden kiralarsanız bedava. (Giriş 4000 Won, hanbok kiralama en az 15000 Won ????)

全是外国人穿韩服在拍照。而且地就是沙子地 ，建筑也就那样 ，没啥好玩的。

도심속에 있어서 익숙하지만 훌륭한

말로 표현못한다 무조건 가봐야한다

One of the main tourist attraction in South Korea

Eindrücklicher und sehr schöner Palast.
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!

As someone who appreciates history, architecture, and cultural experiences, Gyeongbokgung is a truly captivating place to visit. From the moment you enter the palace gates, you are transported back in time to the era of the Joseon Dynasty. The grandeur and elegance of the palace complex are evident in its meticulously maintained buildings and expansive courtyards.

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.

Great visit

Hermoso lugar, una gran experiencia de conocer y más con tu vestido hanbok

Very nice place in Seoul!

한국을 대표하는 문화재
아름다운 역사와 문화를 즐길 수 있는곳❤️

Wow what a truly beautiful place this is why you come to Korea to see the culture so different to europe. Love that everyone is wearing traditional clothing

Hjiu I can do that to ma ganyan na na song is a Jax
Uyy

A must when in Seoul’

Da visitare assolutamente! Andare la mattina presto alle ore 09.30 per vedere esercitazioni delle guardie

小朋友體驗穿韓服，特別的體驗

一座座宏偉的宮殿令人嘆為觀止，出入口的光化門彷彿成了時光隧道。但假日人潮眾多，購票處及觀賞宮殿內裝恐需費時等候。

Cung rộng nhưng hơi hoang vu, không quá ấn tượng. Chúng tôi vào đến cung vào buổi chiều vì còn thuê Hanbok & làm tóc nên hơi muội vì cũng đã 3h40 chiều nên tầm 5h cũng sắp đến giờ đóng cửa. Nói thật thuê Hanbok vào đây chụp ảnh hơi bị phí tiền, nên mua vé vào xem thì hơn. Nếu như những địa điểm du lịch nổi tiếng ở các nước khác nhân viên bảo vệ sẽ tôn trọng cười và chờ chúng tôi chụp vội 1 tấm ảnh làm kỷ niệm thì bảo vệ ở đây khó chịu, quát nạt & đuổi khách ra ngoài như đuổi tà. Nếu đi buổi sáng bạn ko mặc Hanbok thì phải xếp hàng mua vé & vào rất lâu, nên đặt mua vé online. Còn chiều thì vắng hơn.

I really loved it, one of the best places in Seoul

Disgustingly rude ticket booth staff!
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.

Palais impérial très intéressant, une visite guidée en anglais est proposée tous les jours et est gratuite. Le changement de la garde impériale (14h) est particulièrement à voir. Si vous y allez costumés traditionnel coréen, l'entrée est gratuite, mais sinon elle n'est pas très chère.

Visite incontournable si vous passez par SEOUL.
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

Ce palais a une très belle architecture extérieure et est rempli d' histoire. La visite guidée est très bien faite et est utile.
Il est situé dans un endroit calme et paisible.

Palais immense et riche en couleur au centre de la ville qui mérite une visite. Pour notre part, nous somme arrivé le jour de la fête national coréen et énormément de gens etait en costume traditionnel. Une manière original de découvrir les lieux.
