A Free and Historic Experience

#seoulspots For those looking to explore Seoul on a budget, Gyeonghuigung is an absolute must-visit. Admission is free, making it the only one of Seoul's five grand palaces that you can enter without a fee. The grounds are thoughtfully laid out, with restored halls like Sungjeongjeon and the main gate, Heunghwamun, which has a fascinating history of being moved and restored. Its location next to the Seoul Museum of History and the Seoul Museum of Art makes it an ideal stop to combine with a trip to one of the city's other great free attractions. While it may not be as grand in scale as some of the other palaces, its historical significance as a secondary refuge for kings and its peaceful ambiance make it a valuable stop for any traveler interested in Korean history. #travel #thingstodo
