About this area

Luggage Storage in Seoul's Palace District

Gyeongbokgung Station and Anguk Station are neighbouring stops on Metro Line 3 in the heart of old Seoul. Together they cover the city's most visited heritage area: Gyeongbokgung Palace and the National Palace Museum on one side, and Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong and Changdeokgung Palace on the other.

Many visitors come here on the day they arrive or leave Seoul, or to rent a hanbok and walk through the palaces — and nobody wants to do that with a suitcase. Both stations have Seoul Metro T-Lockers on B2: three groups at Gyeongbokgung (88 lockers, toward Exits 4 and 6) and three at Anguk (108 lockers, near the fare gates).

Pay by scanning the QR code on the green sign — no app or Korean phone number needed. If the large lockers are full at one station, check the other one: they are only one stop apart.
