💡 야간관람은 외부 행사로 우천 시에도 정상 진행합니다.
💡 야간에는 유모차 및 횔체어 대여가 불가하니 필요하다면 미리 챙기시는게 좋아요!
🌙 한복 입으면 무료입장?
가능합니다!
2025년에는 경복궁 야간개장도 한복 착용 시 사전 예약 없이 무료입장이 가능합니다.
단, 다음 조건들을 꼭 기억하세요:
- 실제 한복 착용이어야 하며, 한복 느낌이 나는 옷은 해당 안 됨
- 현장에서는 한복 착용 여부를 직접 확인합니다
- 무료 입장이라도 현장 인원이 마감되면 입장이 제한될 수 있어요
🧵 한복 입고 갈 예정이라면 조금 일찍 도착해서 대기하시는 걸 추천드립니다!
👘 한복 대여 추천 장소는?
경복궁역 근처에는 한복 대여점이 여럿 있어요.
그중에서도 평이 좋은 곳 몇 군데를 소개드릴게요.
- 한복남 경복궁점: 종류 다양, 사진 촬영 패키지도 있음
- 서촌한복: 서촌 골목 속 감성 한복
- 황후의옷장: 퓨전한복, 궁중 스타일 다양
대부분 1~3시간 대여 기준이고, 야간개장에 맞춘 상품도 별도 마련되어 있어요.
미리 예약하고 방문하면 기다림 없이 바로 착용 가능하니 참고하세요!
✨ 별빛야행, 이건 또 뭐야?
‘경복궁 별빛야행’은 단순히 관람하는 야간개장과 달리,
전문 해설과 함께 궁궐을 산책하며 궁중 다과, 국악 공연 등을 즐기는 프리미엄 체험 프로그램이에요.
- 운영 기간: 4월 2일(수) ~ 5월 17일(토)

- 예매처: 티켓링크 (사전 추첨 방식)
💡 4월 23일~30일은 ‘궁중문화축전’으로 별빛야행은 진행되지 않아요.
단, 별도의 신청이 필요하니 ‘한국문화재재단’ 홈페이지를 꼭 확인하세요.
🚗 주차는 어디에 해요?
경복궁 주변에는 전용 주차장이 없기 때문에 공영주차장이나 인근 유료주차장을 이용해야 해요.
- 추천 주차장
- 경복궁 동편 공영주차장: 사직로 61 / 도보 5분
- 세종문화회관 지하 주차장: 도보 10~15분
- KT 광화문 빌딩 주차장: 저녁 시간 할인 혜택 있음
하지만 주말이나 공휴일에는 정말 붐비기 때문에 대중교통 이용이 가장 현명합니다.
경복궁역 5번 출구로 나오면 바로 궁 앞으로 연결돼요!
🍱 경복궁 인근 맛집 추천
🍲 든든한 한 끼
- 토속촌 삼계탕: 전통 한옥에서 즐기는 삼계탕, 외국인 손님에게도 인기
- 황생가 칼국수: 진한 국물의 칼국수와 만두 조합이 일품
- 체부동 잔치집: 한상 가득한 한식 정식 메뉴, 서촌 감성 가득
☕ 분위기 좋은 감성 카페
전통과 현대가 어우러진 공간
- 온고당: 고즈넉한 한옥에서 즐기는 전통차와 디저트
- 테라로사 경복궁점: 유명 로스터리 브랜드, 한옥 느낌 가득
- 스탠딩커피 서촌점: 귀여운 감성 로고와 테이크아웃 컵이 포인트
✅ 꼭 알아야 할 팁 요약
| 예매 | 4월 30일 오전 10시부터 인터파크 예매 필수 |
| 무료입장 | 한복 착용 시 예약 없이도 무료입장 가능 |
| 이동 | 입장 후 경회루부터 먼저 둘러보는 루트 추천 |

한복을 입고 걷는 별빛 아래의 궁궐, 그곳에서 남기는 사진과 추억은 오래도록 기억에 남을 거예요.
