Wearing hanbok gets you free entry to Seoul's five grand palaces, so a hanbok palace photo trip fits in a day in Seoul (or 1 night, 2 days if you add Suwon). Here are rental-shop locations, entry rules, and how to use the combined ticket.
Hanbok rental hubs
- Near Gwangjang Market: close to Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, and Jongmyo, with lots of props
- Near Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon: many shops, easy to compare
- Near Suwon Haenggung: shots of the grand Hwaseong fortress scale
Free-entry rules
A jeogori top with a skirt or pants is the basic requirement; a durumagi coat alone or mixed outfits like jeans with a jeogori don't qualify. The 6,000-won combined ticket covers Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung, and Jongmyo.
