Great place to get acquainted with the Korean culture and history. The place itself is very comfortable and beautiful. That&rsquo;s a great pleasure just to walk around the territory. But the real magic starts inside. There are both historical and cultural expositions, some of them have also interactive digital experiences which are really interesting to try on. They also have all the explanations translated to English. Be ready to spend more than 2 hours here. I&rsquo;ve spent 3 hours here during my first day in Korea and was forced to leave only because it was the end of the day. There are lots of resting areas around the building so you&rsquo;ll never be too tired to explore one more room. Tips: * Book the AR experience on the Museum website in advance. It&rsquo;s totally worth it! * Check for the announcements of the special events and exhibitions. The can expand your museum experience. Mostly they&rsquo;re free.

Gyeongbokgung Palace: A 600-year-long heartbeat of a dynasty&mdash;a truly memorable experience!
A must-see for history buffs and highly recommended for those seeking a cultural experience! As Korea&#39;s &quot;Palace of the Forbidden City,&quot; Gyeongbokgung Palace&#39;s value goes far beyond its visual appeal&mdash;it serves as the epic starting point for the Joseon Dynasty and a spiritual landmark for understanding Korean culture. Those seeking glitz and glamour may be disappointed, but for those seeking to connect with the soul of the Joseon Dynasty, this is the place to be.

Soul-stirring Highlights:
Changing of the Guards Ceremony (A Must-See!): Performed daily at 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM at Gwanghwamun, this living historical drama unfolds! To the roaring sound of drums, guards in traditional military uniforms march in formation, wielding halberds, their steps resonating as you journey back to 1395 (free and truly breathtaking).
The Philosophical Code of the Complex: The painted double eaves of the Geunjeongjeon Palace embody the majesty of the monarch, the Gyeonghoe Floating Palace reflects the unity of nature and humanity, and the elegant blue tiles of the Jagyeongjeon Palace convey the Zen spirit of the harem&mdash;every beam and pillar holds within them a Confucian cosmology. Hidden healing corners: The picturesque lotus pond at Hyangwonjeong on the west side, where autumn maple leaves dye the palace walls red, is a delightful escape. The Bukwon National Folk Museum (free) uses everyday artifacts to depict the dynastic atmosphere, a warmer experience than the palace itself.

A hanbok experience paradise: Clothing rental shops abound inside and outside the palace walls. With a hanbok and a bun (approximately 20,000-30,000 won), you can immerse yourself in a historical landscape without any barriers. Every photo of the blue-tiled stone pavement is a cinematic masterpiece (admission is free!).

True Experience: Avoid the midday sun! Early morning or an hour before closing time is the least crowded, when the slanting light and shadows on the stone carvings of mythical beasts are most striking. Vegetation within the palace is sparse, so combine a half-day visit with the National Museum of Contemporary Art or Bukchon Hanok Village on the west side. Closed on Tuesdays!

Conclusion: Gyeongbokgung Palace isn&#39;t just a &quot;10-minute photo op&quot; attraction. It requires you to slow down and feel the breath of a dynasty amid the drumbeat of the changing of the guards and the silence of the mottled shadows of the pillars. This heaviness and poetry that transcends time and space is truly a priceless treasure.

Even though we bought tickets online we still had to wait in line to print them out which was very annoying. Lotte world Seoul is not the biggest amusement park I have been to but for the price it was worth it. I would recommend going on a week day to avoid the crowd.

If you want to get close to nature, the Olympic Park in Seoul, South Korea is a good place. Many Koreans come here to picnic and enjoy flowers. There are also multiple indoor venues that provide various ball games and concert activities!

The palace is well-preserved and has so much rich history! It&rsquo;s also walking-distance from Jogyesa Temple and the Insa-dong neighborhood. The views are especially spectacular at sunset.
