A Walk through Daehangno, Naksan Park and the Seoul City Wall

Go up from Daehangno to Naksan Park and walk part of the Seoul City Wall. You can see the wall and city scenery without booking a performance, but the route has uphill sections. If the walking load is demanding, shorten the climb to Naksan first.

How Much Walking Is Involved in Each Section?

The times and distances below are map-route records checked in the source. Allow separate time for visits, queues and meals. Actual walking distance changes if your starting or finishing point changes.

Opening Hours and Bookings

The official Seoul City Wall guide lists the Naksan section as open 24 hours. Construction, weather and safety restrictions and on-site guidance take priority. This does not mean exhibition halls, theaters or cafés operate all night or that the whole route is lit.

Ordinary outdoor walks do not require booking. Wall tours, events and performances are separate and are not included in the default itinerary.

This suggests half a day including part of the wall and breaks. Actual time varies with your visiting pace and queues.
