Gyeongbokgung Night Opening — Fall 2026 (Sept 2–Oct 2) — NOL Tickets Required

Gyeongbokgung night visits will run for one month from September 2 to October 2, 2026. The palace is closed every Monday and Tuesday. Viewing hours are from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, with final admission at 8:30 PM.

Online booking opens on August 26 at 10:00 AM and runs through October 1 at 11:59 PM on NOL tickets. Each day 3,000 tickets are released on a first-come, first-served basis, and each person may purchase up to 4 tickets. For visitors who miss online sales, a separate on-site allocation is reserved for foreign visitors: 300 tickets per day, with a limit of 2 tickets per person available at the venue.

This evening palace program is very popular, and online tickets often sell out quickly. If you have fixed travel plans, be ready to book right when sales open, or check the on-site sales time and location in advance so you can try to purchase from the day’s foreign-visitor allotment.
