Getting there by public transport
Official directions suggest buses 11 or 13 from the Novotel-side stop by Suwon Station exit 4 to Hwaseong Haenggung–Suwon Seongji, followed by a walk. Check event-day diversions and temporary stop changes.
Admission, booking & conditions
General attendance was free in 2026, but some performances and experiences were paid or required advance booking. A performance ticket and palace admission could be separate, so check each program’s conditions.
Official language & booking access
The official website has a foreign-visitor tour booking route. Check each product’s languages, eligibility and departure point separately.
