🇰🇷 Wearing Hanbok in Korea
Hanbok is the traditional Korean clothing worn by people in Korea. It is characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Hanbok consists of a jeogori (jacket) and baji (pants) or chima (skirt) for women, or baji for men. The ensemble is often accompanied by a jeonbok (vest) and a hair accessory called a norigae. While it is commonly worn on special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and celebrations, you can also find people wearing hanbok at cultural events, historical sites, and during traditional holidays in South Korea.
There are many hanbok rental shops in Seoul such as Insadong, Bukchon Hanok Village and Gyeongbokgung Palace. These shops often provide a variety of styles and sizes for both men and women. Some major palaces and cultural heritage sites in Seoul, such as Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, and Deoksugung Palace, also offer hanbok rental services on-site. Visitors can rent hanboks and explore the grounds while dressed in traditional attire. Most of the time entry to the palaces is free for those who are dressed in hanbok. You should definitely experience wearing a hanbok when you are in South Korea!

🇰🇷 Hanbok experience in Gyeongbokgung Palace
Gyeongbokgung Palace (景福宫) is the largest palace out of the five palaces in Seoul. It was constructed at the end of 14th century during the Joseon period. Over the next few hundreds years, the palace was destroyed, abandoned and reconstructed before being torn down during the Japanese occupation. Since 1990, an effort to restore the palace to its former glory has been ongoing.
The palace is a short walk away from Gyeongbokgung subway station Exit 5. We rented Hanbok (Korean traditional costume) at one of the many rental shops nearby before we entered the palace. The rental included basic hairstyling and additional accessories were available at extra cost. The admission to the palace is 3000 won but we got free admission since we were dressed in Hanbok. Therefore it is not surprising to see many visitors walking around the palace dressed in Hanbok. It was a fun and memorable experience for us taking pictures at different parts of the palace.
The palace is closed on Tuesdays. There are a few free guided tours in foreign languages available on certain days of the week.

Hanbok experience in Seoul 🇰🇷
One of the best ways to explore South Korea is wearing a hanbok while visiting a palace. We visited Gyeongbokgung palace because it is the most popular one, atleast to me. We rented the traditional Korean dress at hanboknam. The rental shop was busy, it took us an hour to dress up. There were only few staff in the shop, and they were not very helpful.
We also paid a studio photoshoot before we went to the palace. We waited an hour and a half for the photographer to come so that took all of our time. So annoying.
We could have stayed longer in the palace if we weren't freezing cold. Entrance fee is free in the palace if you're wearing Hanbok.

Experience Wearing Hanbok in Korea!
100 Must-Visit Korea Destinations! ✨
During my recent trip to Korea, I had the opportunity to visit one of the five palaces in Seoul. I took a photo at Gyeongbokgung Palace and was thrilled to have the experience of wearing a Hanbok in the country itself 🫶✨
I rented it for free because it was included with the Discovery Seoul Pass (I'll talk about it in the next post!)
There are five palaces you can visit when you're in Korea, all located in Seoul (Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, Changgyeonggung Palace, Deoksugung Palace, and Gyeonghuigung Palace). 🥳
Wearing a Hanbok in Korea was already on my list 🌸💐 because it's not only stylish but also a memorable experience. Oh, by the way, Gyeongbok Palace is located north of Seoul (Gangbuk), South Korea.
This palace is one of the five grand palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty, which you must have seen in Korean dramas, right? 🌼
The vibes here are truly different, and I loved how most people who visit this place also wear Hanbok. It's adorable and charming 🥰
For other exciting destinations in Seoul, I'll discuss them in my next post! ✨

Some valuable moment of the trip🍁
Look at those amazing view🤤 The starfield library is a “must visit” place, it is located in COEX mall, the feeling of surrounded by books and the direct sun light from the roof, I hope I can spend my whole day here reading and have a cup of coffee🫶🏻 I suggest to book Gangchon Rail Bike in the evening because you may see the sun set while cycling along the track, the weather is just nice to enjoy the view👍🏻 In order to have a close view to the famous Banpo bridge, we went for a cruise ride, it is a 70min cruise ride by Eland and there is other packages and options as well. We like to enjoy different tradition and culture at different country especially trying their traditional attires and food🤤 Luckily we got a couple colour hanbok and it was so beautiful🥹
