Changgyeonggung Palace

Loaded with history. Lots of walking and there is no golf cart kinda vehicle to ride around. So prepared to walk A-LOT! Most places are accessible by stairs, but only some have wheelchair ramps. Took about 3hrs to cover just the palace. Place ticket 1000won per person. Visited on Tuesday at 10:30am, there were literally 5 people on the ground. By the time I left around 1:30, it was a bit crowded. Secret Garden is a separate ticket 5000won and fixed time only. I didn’t do that part. Assume that’s another couple of hours at least. There is no need to buy tickets in advance, just buy them at the counter. They accept foreign credit card or smaller denominations of won.

These places are steeped in history, this is undisputed, however, once you have visited one Palace, all others seem the same and when you go through your photos it is hard to tell them apart. The setting is beautiful and it must be even more beautiful during full bloom season.

An amazing place to visit, the weather happened to be lovely this day and it wasn't busy. I don't think you really need a guide unless you want to know more about the buildings but it is great also to enjoy by yourself. You can buy the tickets outside near the gift shop, I suggest buying them early too. The gates closed about an hour before the actual palace closing so make sure to go early enough to have enough time. I will definitely come here again

Perhaps not quite as impressive as its sister palace next door, but it's surrounded by beautiful gardens, including a greenhouse, and the golden autumn colours are well worth seeing. Many beautiful wood carved buildings make up this palace.

Came on a weekday, an hour after opening, and this was how empty the place was. It felt like a true step back into the past experience. The audio guide is highly recommended. For less than a cup of coffee, you can get a little history behind each point on the map.

One of the smaller but equally majestic palaces in Seoul. This one is unique in that it features the first Western-style greenhouse built in Korea, which is perfectly manicured. There is also a picturesque pond next to the greenhouse, which is perfect for relaxing and calming strolls. This is also one of the palaces you can visit at sunset/night, as general admission goes until 20:00 on most days. l really liked being able to see it lit up at night without having to book a night tour (but night tours are available). This palace may not be as intricate as the larger ones, but it's full of history and equally stunning. If you purchase the Palace Pass combination ticket, this palace has direct access to Changdeokgung Palace next door.

Is a very beautiful Palace that make our mind and soul feel calm and peaceful. Walking around is just like watching a Korean drama. Love this place. Highly recommended.

It only cost ₩1, 000 to enter. The fall colors were coming out nicely in the leaves. It's a very expansive area to walk and very peaceful.
