Getting there

About

Korea's biggest heritage festival: nine days each spring and autumn across all five Seoul palaces and Jongmyo shrine — performances, rite reenactments, night openings, and experiences. The 12th edition, 'Palaces Awaken Art', opens with a night spectacle at Gyeongbokgung's Heungnyemun plaza. THE event to plan a spring Seoul trip around.
