[2025 Seoul ] Travel Guide for Gwanghwamun Gate (Updated Mar)

#seoul A must visit when you are in Seoul. 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. 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. Tip: The area is huge and will highly advise to wear comfortable shoes to explore.

#fallingseason I took the last train to see the old palace in the cool autumn night! Please pay attention to the tip of the successful reservation for the opening of Gyeongbokgung Palace, reviews of the old palace, and even pictures of the beautiful maple road reflected on the electronic display while crossing Gwanghwamun to see Gyeongbokgung Palace. I was able to buy tickets on 11th Street, but they sold out instantly from the first and second ticket reservations I went into 11th Street from time to time on the second opening day due to a failed ticketing and occasionally bought a canceled ticket, so refresh and look for a canceled ticket! I usually saw a lot of canceled tickets during the night.
