The largest of the palaces in Seoul and it does not disappoint. Go early - ticket office opens at 9 (same time as the gates open). If you are early then you miss the crowds which quickly build up. … Full review by colin h

Undoubtedly, it’s a must see place, especially for the field visitors. However I wouldn’t recommend going there in hanbok, cause you will see hundreds of identical people and it won’t be as special a… Full review by Natalie D

This is a huge palace and stunning to explore. At just 3000 won (about AU$3) there’s so much to see there. Worth noting at 10am daily is the changing of the guards which was brilliant to see. Is loc… Full review by luci321

I believe they’re all keeping regular hours, though admission times to palaces are always reduced in February compared to summertime. I suppose this could change at any time due to the viral outbreak. Your best bet would be to contact the attraction the day before you want to go, or confirm with a concierge if your hotel has one. Both the National Museum and the War Memorial are vast in size, and of course the palaces are wide-open spaces. Infection of any sort would be considerably more likely in the subway headed to the attraction, than at the attraction itself. Do note that there’s been a run on protective masks in Seoul, so you might want to bring some with you. Web pages may not reflect a sudden emergency change in hours of opening, so I’d recommend you phone ahead. Here are phone numbers to my three favourite attractions. National Museum +82-2-2077-9000. War Memorial +82 2-709-3139. Gyeongbokgung +82-2-3700-3900.
