 Now that you are dressed in the hanbok you are going to want pictures to remember the experience. One of the best places to get pictures is going to the palaces, all of them offer admittance for free if you are wearing a hanbok. The palaces are amazing places to get pictures in Hanbok as they are from the Joseon era and have beautiful areas in them from gardens to beautiful buildings. You can also go to multiple different temples as well as just wander around the city. Just make sure to keep the Hanbok clean as it is just a rental. The hanok villages are also a good place to go to in hanbok.
