Seokpajeong, once a vacation house of Heungseon Daewongun (the father of King Gojong) is worth a visit for travelers and residents who want to experience the royal hanok architecture surrounded by a beautiful courtyard and nature.

If you're keen on exploring the arts scenes in Seoul and the world, be sure to check out the exhibitions at Seoul Museum, just downstairs from the outdoor area of Seokpajeong too.

Step into the museum and you'll be greeted with the ticket office. Purchase your tickets depending on what you want to see; it's ₩5,500 if you want to check out Seokpajeong only and ₩11,000 if you want to explore both Seokpajeong and the museum.

The Seokpajeong pavilion boasts views of Seoul at a variety of altitudes and angles. Once you exit Seokpajeong, re-entry is not permitted so determine what time you'd want to head outside beforehand!

The stunning hanok buildings mingled with greenery and nature makes this place perfect for a short getaway from the concrete city vibes.

The exhibitions feature works of local and international artists, most of them temporary. It's a definite must for travelers and visitors who are interested in checking out local arts scenes.

If you're looking for a more peaceful experience around Gyeongbokgung, Seokpajeong Seoul Museum is a great half-day option.
