Forget the main courtyard crowds; the real move is booking the Secret Garden (Huwon) tour in advance. You need a separate ticket for this 90-minute walk through the forest and ponds behind the palace walls. Wear comfortable shoes because it involves actual hills. Skip the general entry-only tickets if you want the full aesthetic. If you're tight on time, a small-group royal tour helps navigate the history without reading every single plaque yourself.
