Gwanghwamun Gate & Changing of the Guard Ceremony

#seoulspots Gwanghwamun is the imposing main gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace and a symbol of Korean history and pride. The traditional changing of the guard ceremony held multiple times a day is colorful, theatrical, and free to watch. The square in front is often filled with families, tourists, and street performers. It’s also surrounded by important monuments like the King Sejong statue and a view of Bugaksan mountain. A perfect blend of photo ops and historical depth.
