Walk slowly from the main gate into the courtyards to appreciate their scale. Leave a lunch break if combining the palace with Bukchon; two major palaces back to back can be tiring. Check the day’s programme separately if you want to see a ceremony.

Plan around the weather and the visiting programme.
