Korea Palace Gyeongbokgung(경복궁) with night

[RoRoPo]

Gyeongbokgung is one of most of the famous palace in Korea a lot of travellers visit here to take some photos, walking and joying

here is not too much big place like a Chines castles but you can feel some emotion in Korea and old Korean building style

I want to say some tips and some information to you

first

Let’s see Gyeongbokgung!

(Gyeongbokgung)

• Admission fee
• adult: 3000 won (about 2.5 dollars or 2 euros)
• over 10 people group each 2400 won
• 7 - 18 years old 1500 won (over 10 people group each 1200won)
• tip1: each last month’s Wednesday’s Admission fee is free★
• tip2: if you wear Korea tradition clothes Hanbok then Admission fee is free too!★ ( you can rental hanbok nearby Gyangbokgung palace price 10000~2000won 2hours~ )

here is a tip. if you go here at 10 am or 2 pm, you can watch a ceremony of Governing board alternation

maybe a lot of travellers has been here but Gyeongbokgung is usually closed at 6 pm but they hold some night event at some seasons (usually summer and Fall)

Night Gyangbokgung is something special and different from normal Gyangbokgung. night darkness and lights make the palace be more beautiful

Let’s see Night Gyeongbokgung!

(Night Gyeongbokgung)

• Admission fee
• 3000 won

this event usually is held at September but it could be changed so you should check up before

How to enter it?

Actually, entering Gyangbokgung is hard in the night because of only people who got a reservation are allowed to enter the palace so maybe it could be hard for travellers who can’t understand Korean and don’t know how to get a reservation via the internet from abroad

Then how can I enter there?

don’t worry, Seoul association has noticed that so travellers who came from abroad and older 65 can buy ticket their ticket stand without any reservation (even tour guide or your friend is Korean he or she can buy a ticket with you too as a guide ) and they will check up you are a foreigner or not so you have to bring your passport!

Thank you for reading!

I wish you enjoy Korea trip and use some tips as well

If you have been Seoul in Korea then you must be visited Gyangbokgung (경복궁)

Gyangbokgung is one of the most famous palaces in Korea

(Gyaungbokgung)

So a lot of travellers and Seoul citizen come there

but do you know you can enter the Gyangbokgung in the afternoon?

well- usually Gyangbokgung is closed at 06:00 PM (open at 09:00 AM)

but some season they open at night

it is something special in night Gyangbokgung some people many times go to there at night

let’s see Night Gyangbokgung!

(Gyangbokgung in the night)

how do you think? do you think it is different from normal Gyangbokgung?

so a lot of people try to enter the Night Gyangbokgung because There is an entry restriction

• Only people can enter who got a reservation via the internet
• but older than 65 can buy a ticket in their Gyangbokgung ticket stand

so how we can go there? even you can’t read Korean and doesn’t know how to get a book ticket on the internet?

don’t worry!

Seoul tourism association noticed about it so Foreigner people can buy a ticket on their Gyangbokgung ticket stand too!

but it could be sold out so I recommend that buying a ticket before open the night

ticket price is 3000won (about 2Euros or 2.5 dollars)

and enjoy it!

you can take some pictures in there they allow photography so if you have a camera then take it

Ah! also they will demand a passport to check you are a foreigner or not so don’t forget to bring your passport!

Summary

• There is some season has Gyangbokgung night open event
• That event only got a reservation for people to enter the event (if you are Korean!)
• If you are older 65 or foreigner then you can buy a ticket without a reservation
• Don’t forget your passport!

Hello @RoRoPo ,

Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures with us. Korean Royal Palaces are definitely a must-visit for any tourist that goes to Seoul, and Gyeongbokgoong is my favorite one of all of them. I really like the night pictures you took, because you get to see the contrast of the traditional palace buildings and the metropolitan area behind. Also the picture of the two girls in hanboks is amazing. ^^

By the way, just wanted to let you know that when giving a link to an external website, your post might get caught by our spam filters, so I recommend sharing a google maps link instead.

P.S. I am relabeling your post with the Travel label, since it fits better.

@LilyanaZ Thank you for your service and reply about my question!

And I am so glad you like my post!

You are very welcome @RoRoPo .

By the way I noticed that you wrote the name of the palace as Gyangbokgung and just wanted to ask about that, since I think that when transcribed in English it should be Gyeongbokgung?

@LilyanaZ thank you for feedback! yes you are right I should fix it!!
