The Seoul palace combo ticket, explained
궁궐 통합관람권
The integrated palace ticket covers one visit each to Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung and Jongmyo, and it is valid for six months from the day you buy it (Royal Palaces and Tombs Center fee page, checked Sep 2026).
Where to buy it
It is sold at the ticket offices of the four palaces and Jongmyo. There is no need to buy it in advance.
What it does not include
The Secret Garden (Huwon) at Changdeokgung is not part of it. Huwon is a timed tour with its own ticket, and you also need the Changdeokgung entry. Huwon tickets go on sale online from 10 AM six days before the visit until the day before, and on site from 9 AM on the day; the center notes they sell out very quickly in April, May, October and November.
Refunds
Refunds are only possible at the palace where you bought the ticket, and not at all once any one of the five stubs has been torn off.
Is it worth it
That depends on how many of the five you will visit and whether you get in free anyway: visitors wearing hanbok and foreign visitors aged 18 or under or 65 and over enter free. Each palace page in the app shows its own adult entry and the combo ticket price from the official fee page, with the month we checked it. Palace fees were under public review in September 2026, so a new price list may follow.
