There are plenty of hanbok rental stores directly to the west of the palace, you can't miss them. If you wear a hanbok you can just walk right into the palace, no need to stop at the ticket counter unless you want a guided tour.

A must-see when visiting Seoul! Entry is extremely cheap, but I recommend spending the little extra if you can to rent a hanbok to wear which makes entry free.

I enjoyed this palace a lot. My only qualm was not receiving a pamphlet at the ticket booth. The best experience here was the royal guard change performance in the morning at 10 am. 

Beautiful cherry blossom 🌸 free enter with wearing hanbok. Rental hanbok can book online or shop counter photo taken on 7/4/24😃

A beautiful historical place, located in the middle of Seoul City. Near to any other attraction place. highly recommended!

worth visiting and we paid for the Hanbok and we looked good. weather was cold and the hanbok was thick enough to withstand the cold.
