If your day in Seoul falls on Gyeongbokgung's next closing day, these are open then:

Last checked 15 Oct 2026, 20:38 KST. Closing days, hours and addresses come from the Korea Tourism Organization (한국관광공사) TourAPI, via the Public Data Portal (data.go.kr), and are re-checked daily. Public holidays, substitute holidays included, follow the Korean government calendar.

Hours and closing days can change at short notice, for events, repairs or weather. Confirm with the venue before a long trip.

This page is generated automatically from that public data, using a template a person wrote and reviewed. How Mun checks places

Plan a day around what's open. Mun drafts a day-by-day plan for Korea and checks every stop against official records, so nothing lands on its closing day.
