Seoul Fortress Walking Tour
Walking around is the best way to get to know a city! Walk along the Seoul Fortress Walls and also visit other popular sites on the way.
The Fortress Wall of Seoul is a wall made of stone and other materials to protect the city of Seoul from invaders in the Joseon Dynasty. Parts of the wall have been entirely destroyed during the Japanese Imperial rule (1910 - 1945) but have gone through extensive restoration to bring some parts of it back. Walk along the fortress walls and learn about its history from the guide, while stopping by famous Seoul sites like Naksan Park and Ihwa Mural Village.

Preview
Seoul Fortress Wall
The fortress was built in the Joseon Dynasty to protect the city from invaders. There may be some hills but the higher the ground, the better the view gets!
Naksan Park
Naksan Park is near Hyehwa and Daehakno. This place is especially popular during the night because of its impressive view of the Seoul night view! It's also in a lot of Korean movies and tv shows so try to spot it next time you watch a K-drama!
Ihwa Mural Village
Ihwa Mural Village is also known as a street museum and is located right next to Naksan Park. There is a lot of beautiful artwork painted on the walls and it is great for taking pictures for the gram!
Seoul Fortress Wall Museum
Hanyang Doseong Museum, the Hanyang Fortress Wall Museum, is the last place on the tour itinerary. You can learn all about the fortress's history here!
