Naksan Park wall walk, a quieter Seoul night view

hiraansari · 2026-08-16

On our last evening in Seoul we went up to Naksan Park instead of the tower, and it was so much calmer up there. You can walk the old fortress wall starting from the Hyehwa station side, past the mural village, and the city lights come up on your right almost the whole way. Best to start around sunset so you get the golden light and the night view in one walk, and wear proper shoes because the path is stone and a little steep in some parts. On a weekday the benches near the top were mostly empty, we just sat there for a while. Happy to share more if someone is planning that area.
