My Visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁) Seoul in Korean Hanbok

My first sightseeing experience in Seoul was the "must do" Gyeongbokgung Palace. If you go there I definitely recommend that you rent a Hanbok costume. You can rent it in many places around the Palace and you can get it for 10.000 won (10 USD ish) for one hour and this grants you free entrance to the Palace, more reasons to take many photos and a great memory for life!

Here are some photos from the day

I was wearing the Kings Hanbok - felt like a king (lol)

I was told this was the place the king partied with the important people.. Sweet spot

    Yeah, it's a cool and fun experience :-)
    It was the main Royal Palace. I had to do quick googling hehe, and Gyeongbokgung Palace was the biggest of 5 palaces, and it was burned down during a war and the rebuild again.
    Thanks @chrisx!
    Great day to you as well :-)

      The costume looks good on you! Would have been a nice trip I guess.

              You actually look good in a Hanbok. I don't think many can pull that off. I've been to Gyeongbukgung a few years ago but I've never tried it on. Did you see the guards marching?

                Haha thanks @howtostartablog!!
                Yeah I saw the guards marching, it was a cool experience. I'm a huge fan of the drum, sounds so powerful.
                Jump in a Hanbok one day, you won't regret it!
