Gyeongbokgung is very accessible via subway or buses! You can alight at either the Gwanghwamun station (Exit ) or Gyeongbokgung station (Exit ).
Similar to other palaces, free guides are available. Do check the official website for the timing of the tours so as to plan your visit. Admission ticket to the paace costs 3000 won. You can consider getting the combined ticket package at 10000 if you are planning to visit other palaces and the Jongmyo Shrine.
It is the biggest palace in Seoul and it is preetty magnificent! When I visited in Dec 2014, a new museum within the palace has been established. The museum was free for admittance (at that point in time) and it exhibits many written works of Korean scholars and allows a greater insight into Korea history and the people's way of living.
Exit through the North gate of the palace and you'll find yourself facing a blue house! It houses the South Korea president and there are also municipal buildings nearby.
