Overview
Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. Your guide brings 500 years of court life to life as you move through its gates, halls and gardens, then leads you uphill into Bukchon, where traditional wooden hanok homes still line quiet alleys. Choose the hanbok option to dress in traditional attire for the full experience — and the best photos.
