Walking in Seoul

Seoul sets Joseon-era palaces, hanok alleys and busy markets next to modern towers, with a restored stream walk running through the old centre.

Terrain. The centre is gently sloped; Bukchon, Namsan and the city wall trails are steep.

Distances. Gyeongbokgung to Changdeokgung through Bukchon is about 30 minutes.
