Hanyang City Wall Trail

한양도성길

Jongno, Seoul · 서울

The Joseon city wall, still running over four mountains around the old centre, waymarked in six sections that can be walked separately in one to three hours each.

Why it’s worth it

The Naksan and Bugaksan sections give you the best free views in Seoul. Bugaksan passes the presidential compound — bring ID, it is still checked.
