Seoul Changdeokgung Palace History Tour in English & Snapshots - Admission Included

Meet your guide at Jongno 3-ga Station
and step into the story of the Joseon Dynasty

Meet your English-speaking history guide at Exit 7 of Jongno 3-ga Station to begin the tour. If you have chosen to wear hanbok, the guide will first take you to a partner hanbok rental shop near Changdeokgung, where you can choose your style. The rental fee is paid directly at the shop, and those who prefer not to wear hanbok can join in their own clothes.

Learn about royal life at Injeongjeon and Seonjeongjeon

Once everyone is ready, walk together to Changdeokgung. Explore key areas such as Injeongjeon, where major royal ceremonies and state events were held, and Seonjeongjeon, where the king handled daily state affairs, while learning about royal life and the political and social life inside the palace.

The guide brings to life the people, events, and ideas that shaped the Joseon era through storytelling and historical context, and you are welcome to ask questions throughout the tour.

Capture snapshots around the palace

During the tour, natural snapshots and group photos are taken at designated spots inside the palace. These are casual travel photos rather than a professional photoshoot, so you can focus on the history while still taking home memories of your visit. Photos with basic color correction are delivered digitally after the tour. The tour ends inside Changdeokgung, after which you are free to explore the Jongno and Insadong areas.

※ The tour lasts about 2.5 to 3 hours depending on whether you choose the hanbok experience.
※ The tour is mostly outdoors and runs in most weather conditions.
