    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Separate fortress-ground hours from indoor venues

      Museums, memorial halls, exhibitions and event installations inside the wider district can use shorter hours, tickets and closure days than the outdoor fortress.

    2. 02
      Choose the gate for the Namgang wall route

      Confirm admission, the desired museum and the return gate before walking the long wall-and-courtyard circuit.

    3. 03
      Leave margin for walls, slopes and festival controls

      Evening lighting and festival periods can change gates, queues and one-way movement. Follow the current signs rather than an older route.

    • Save the Korean name and full street address for Jinju Fortress before leaving reliable data coverage.
    • Check the linked current record again on the travel day because hours, programmes and controlled areas can change.

    • Ask before photographing staff, merchants, worshippers, children or other visitors at close range.
    • Confirm steps, lifts, toilets, rest points and the shortest usable route when mobility or a stroller matters.

    • Search “경상남도 진주시 남강로 626 진주성” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
