Getting there

About

An evening at Seokjojeon, the neoclassical Western-style hall of the Korean Empire inside Deoksugung Palace. The program pairs a guided night tour of the hall with a terrace-cafe experience — coffee (gabae, the drink Emperor Gojong loved) and dessert over live classical music — and a musical performance telling the story of the imperial household. Running since 2021 and now a twice-yearly fixture, it closes with period-prop photos to take home. Around 100 minutes per session; tickets are limited and sell fast.
