Nearby

Naksan Park after dark: people walking and sitting along a lamplit paved promenade, the Hanyangdoseong city wall running low across the right of the frame, and the lights of north-eastern Seoul spreading out below with a dark ridge on the horizon.

Naksan Park

A park on the lowest of the four hills that ringed the old walled city. A stretch of the city wall runs along its ridge, and the centre of Seoul lies below it on the far side.

Changgyeonggung Palace

The cheapest of Seoul's ticketed palaces and the least crowded, with a garden layout that rewards an unhurried walk rather than a checklist.

Jeongneung Royal Tomb

It opens at 06:00 under the early-admission rule, so it doubles as a morning walking route. It is the tomb of Queen Sindeok, King Taejo’s second queen, and its stone lantern is the oldest stone object at any Joseon royal tomb.

Changdeokgung Palace

Choose it for palace architecture plus garden scenery, but confirm whether the Secret Garden requires a separate timed ticket.
