Palaces & hanok

Palaces and hanok villages transport visitors to Korea's Joseon era, with grand wooden halls, curved tile roofs, and stone-paved courtyards. These locations appear in historical dramas and modern romances alike — palace gates frame royal intrigue, while quiet hanok alleys host intimate conversations. Seoul's five grand palaces, Jeonju Hanok Village, and Andong's Hahoe Folk Village are among the most filmed. Many sites offer hanbok rentals, letting you step into the drama yourself. Spring and autumn are ideal, when gardens bloom or foliage turns. Most palaces open around 9 AM and close by 5-6 PM; some offer evening hours in summer. Allow half a day for major palace complexes, and check for special exhibitions or guided tours.
