Changdeokgung 2026 Royal Culture Festival Tickets

For an October palace visit in South Korea, you need an advance reservation for the Changdeokgung Morning Walk, which runs from October 7 to 11, 2026. The basic fee is 10,000 won per person, and participation is for ages 7 and older, with birth-year and guardian rules to check before booking.
A guided route with palace admission included
Follow a guide through the palace buildings and Secret Garden, hearing the stories behind the spaces and learning about juryeon, decorative verses hung on pillars. The dates and basic fee follow the Korea Heritage Agency’s September 4, 2026 advance booking notice.
The fee includes palace admission, so no separate admission ticket is needed. You can continue a regular visit after the walk by staying inside; leaving means no reentry. That makes it possible to plan the rest of the palace visit without another admission purchase.

Build the morning around the reservation
If you plan to stay after the walk, place any activities outside the palace afterward because reentry is not allowed. Before setting out, match the booking to these practical requirements:
- The booker must attend, and tickets cannot be transferred.
- Bring the booker’s original ID and booking details.
- For the Korean-national session, check in at the information desk in front of Geumhomun Gate from 07:10 to 07:30, arriving at least 10 minutes before the start.
Check birth year and session before paying
Participants must have been born in 2019 or earlier. Those born from 2008 to 2019 need a guardian; those born in 2020 or later cannot participate. Each person may book up to 2 tickets.
Korean nationals should check the 07:30 to 09:30 session on Ticketlink, product 65330. The 08:00 to 10:00 session is for foreign nationals only; English-language reservations go through Creatrip.
