Gwanghwamun Gate, Seoul

My friend took me to this place, vow, this place has the change is guard for the soldiers. They try to represent the old ancient culture during the kind regim. It looked very nice, with the traditional costume and music and commands. Many visit the place to witness this. The surrounding places offer traditional dresses for rent which is very cute.

The recently renovated public space is open 24/7 and it was truly awesome! I totally recommend taking the time to explore and to enjoy the space. I loved the former look - yet - the refreshing layout and space is truly magical!

Canadian traveller here. A must go to when visiting Korea. It’s amazing how central it is considering how busy this area is. The area is huge and so bring comfortable shoes to explore. I recommend exploring the back area on the left near the old forks museum as there is less people and more to see. They have several areas for washroom and have multiple stalls. Once you are outside the walls there are also street food venders and several rentals to wear the Korea traditional clothing. It varies at each store so browse around and see which best fits your budget. The palace also holds a change of guards show which is held 4x a day. I recommend to watch as its truly memorable especially when they hit the large drum.

Very beautiful place. I was very lucky to arrive early and find the place empty. That’s my recommendation, come early, right when it opens so you get to enjoy a quiet meditative walk in this amazing place. A must do experience

The guard change is quite cool to see. But the best part is the fact that even the visitors dress up for the occasion to recreate the atmosphere of the palace a few hundreds of years ago. The girls and women are just charming.
