DAY-OF PLAN
The city lists an earlier winter close from November through February. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing, which is not enough time for the full wall circuit.
The exposed stone walls include grades, steps and limited shade. Choose a shorter gate-and-viewpoint route when time, heat, ice or mobility make the full circuit unsuitable.
January 1, Seollal day and Chuseok day are listed closed. Hourly heritage interpretation is listed from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, while groups reserve separately.
MAKE A HALF-DAY OF IT
A large covered market near the old city and Gongsanseong, with produce, chestnut goods and prepared-food aisles; five-day market dates add activity, while every vendor sets independent hours and payment terms.
