Found English tours were full booked but we managed to buy the ticket via Korean tour and walked on our own. Huge, beautiful garden and pond. Entry to garden is more expensive than to palace

Beautiful garden grounds especially in the fall. Highly recommend. You have reserve a ticket and they go fast. They allow a hundred people per session. Couple sessions per day.

Nice gardens and the only way in is with a tour, so no wandering about on your own. Expected a little bit more given the restrictive access, but worth it if you get the 5-palace pass.

A picturesque garden, full of wonder and awe, that invites me to visit again when autumn foliage is in full swing or snow covers everything on the earth단풍이 절정일 때 그리고 눈이 탐스럽게 내린 날 꼭 다시 가보고 싶은 그림 같은 곳

Make your online reservation, only 100 visitors on each guided tour, and there's no other way to get in if not in the guided tour. BTW it takes 90 mins

Check this site our for your language tour, it costs around $5 (entrance fee is $3, this $5 is additional but worth it) cgg.cha.go.kr

"... 70-acre green space laid out when the palace was built in the 15th century ..." http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/07/15/travel/what-to-do-36-hours-in-seoul.html

Get the tour. Great to learn about the history of the place.

Come early to get into the secret garden tour. We came in at 9am, just in time to buy tickets for the 11:30am secret garden tour. Take the palace tour first to pass your time!

A beautiful nature. Can be visited only on a guided tour.
Magdalena MrázkováOctober 8, 2017
You need special ticket for the entrance but it's so worth it. Super beautiful!

The most important part of this palace is the secret garden with English guide.

Such a beautiful place, especially in autumn! Make reservations well in advance.
Seong-June KimJune 21, 2012
King's garden. Serene & beautiful. Guided tour only. Must have reservation. If you have 1 day in Seoul, come here.

Lots of photo taking opportunities here. Allow at least 1 1/2 hours for the tour

Buy your ticket early, only accessible as part of an arranged tour

Breathtaking during autumn. U need to buy the tour guide pass to get into the garden. But it's not compulsary to follow the guide once u are in.You can take your own time to enjoy the scenery

English, Japanese, Chinese tour available! But not so many.
Pino BonettiOctober 13, 2012
The secret garden can be basically only visited as part of a tour. If English tours are all sold out take a leaflet at the entrance and join a Korean tour.

아름다운 후원, 경복궁을 보았을 때 보지 못했던 우리 민족 정서가 잘 녹아 있다.

Se necesita un ticket especial, a un costo extra, por la visita (guiada, obligatoriamente) a los jardines de este palacio. El tour dura 70 minutos y vale la pena

2015년 12월 5일에 갔다왔습니다. 후원예약은 사전인터넷 50명, 당일현장선착순 50명해서 회차당 총 100명입니다. 영어, 일본어, 중국어 시간은 따로 있습니다. 동절기에는 아침 10시부터 오후 3시까지 한시간에 한번씩. 관람시간은 1시간 반이고 입장료 3천원과는 별도로 5천원을 받으니 참고하세요.

효자 세종이 태종을 위해 만든 궁의 후원‥넓고 아름답고 시원하다‥번민이 많았을 태종의 마음을 안듯‥호수와 나무들을 호흡하며 걷다보면 번민이 덜해지는 듯하다‥

후원을 보기 위해서는 별도의 입장권을 구매해야 합니다. 정해진 시간에 인솔자와 정해진 코스를 돌아야 하며 회당 관람객 수도 제한되어 있습니다.
