Seoul Palace Hours · Oct 12
Every Seoul palace is closed on Tuesday, October 12, 2027
This is not the usual weekday closure. It moved here.
- Monday Oct 11 The usual closing day — but it was Hangeul Day (substitute), so the sites opened.
- Tuesday, October 12, 2027 The first following non-holiday. The closure landed here.
What is open on Oct 12
Nothing. All five sites close together on this date — an unusual alignment that happens when both the Monday and the Tuesday closures are displaced by the same holiday run. Plan a museum or a market day instead.
The rest of the year
Every moved closing day, the guard ceremony times and what to book ahead are on each site's guide: Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung. Or subscribe to the closing-day calendar so the next one cannot surprise you.
