Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukcheon Hanbok Village (How to go and where to rent hanbok: 3355 Hanbok Rental)

Posted on by Regine

One of my best friend was with me during this trip and she wanted to wear a Hanbok and go around Gyeongbokgung Palace. I wanted to fulfil one of her dreams and her bucketlist so we decided to go to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukcheon Hanbok Village.

ATTENTION: Gyeongbokgung Palace is closed on Tuesdays.

Okay so first thing that we did was to rent a hanbok so we went to Bukcheon Hanbok Village.

walk straight as you go out of exit 2

We decided to rent our hanbok at 3355 Hanbok Rental. We didn’t want to be too far from the station when we have to return the hanboks.

we chose 3 hours since I have a feeling 2 hours will be too short for us (I was right!)

Walking around Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukcheon Hanbok Village:

The palace is not that hard to find and the village. Their structures are huge, you just have to follow the roads
