Visitors wearing hanbok, the traditional Korean costume, do not have to pay the entrance fee during the whole holidays (from Feb. 2 - 4). On Seollal in Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Deoksugung Palaces and Jongmyo Shrine, sehwa, or the new year's paintings, will be distributed to visitors (hanbok wearers only, first come first serve basis).

The offices of the royal tombs of the Joseon Dynasty also have plans to celebrate the festive day with visitors, preparing traditional teas, tteok (rice cake) and folklore souvenirs.
