Overview
Step back in time and walk along the ancient Seoul City Wall, one of the most remarkable historical landmarks in Korea. Built in 1396 during the Joseon Dynasty, the wall once protected the capital for centuries and still stretches across the mountains surrounding Seoul.
On this tour, we will follow a beautiful section of the wall while enjoying stunning views of both old and modern Seoul. As we walk, you will hear fascinating stories about the Joseon Dynasty, the defensive system of the city, and the historical events that shaped Korea from the Imjin War to the modern era.
Along the way, we will explore old gates, hidden paths, and scenic viewpoints that many visitors miss. This experience is not only about history but also about understanding how Seoul grew from a royal capital into the vibrant city it is today.
Join this journey through more than 600 years of history while walking along the very walls that once guarded the heart of Korea.
