Gyeongbokgung Palace, a historic landmark in Seoul, offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Korean culture by wearing a traditional Hanbok. However, for Muslim travelers, navigating cultural norms and ensuring religious considerations can sometimes be challenging. This guide will provide valuable tips and information to make your Hanbok experience at Gyeongbokgung Palace enjoyable and respectful.
Choosing a Hanbok Rental
The Hanbok itself is generally considered modest and respectful of Islamic dress codes.
For large groups of friends, it’s especially important to contact the rental shop in advance.
This will allow them to prepare and ensure they have enough Hanboks available for your group. Inquire about their Muslim-friendly options and any specific guidelines they may have.
Consider Cham Hanbok Rental: This rental shop is known for its all-female staff and is conveniently located near Gyeongbokgung Palace.
