PLAN THE VISIT
A reviewed foundation built from official sources. Traveler edits are checked before publication.
Individual venues and café stops add time and use separate hours.
This longer route includes gates, slopes and dispersed heritage; weather and daylight matter.
Historic 10:30 and 1:30 tour references are not proof of a seat today; book through the current county channel.
It is not universal parking, a ticket desk or the start of every route.
A street remaining open does not make a closed venue accessible.
Use crossings, keep doorways clear and choose a shorter section for wheels or limited mobility.
It does not show the whole route, every open interior or a pedestrian-only district.
Checked August 29, 2026. Recheck current hours, admission, closures and transport before travel.
Use a Korean map app for the exact entrance and final walking route.
DAY-OF PLAN
The county currently presents a roughly 2.5-kilometre, 40-minute craft-and-exhibition route and a separate roughly 7.6-kilometre, two-hour fortress route. Save the actual start, finish and return.
The lanes remain public, but the cathedral, textile centres, museums, cafés, shops and palaces do not share one opening time, ticket, Monday closure or accessibility rule.
Remain on public lanes, do not photograph through private doors or windows and keep groups clear of traffic, school entrances and working businesses.
