The stone wall surrounding Deoksugung Palace makes for a charming stroll where you can relax and enjoy the colorful autumnal leaves or discover some of Seoul’s hidden attractions. If you’re planning to travel to Seoul this autumn, why not visit the Deoksugung Stone Wall Path and its surrounding attractions?
The Deoksugung Stone Wall Path is filled with modern-style buildings that reflect the historic background of modern Korea ranging from the late Joseon period to the Japanese colonial era. In the past, only part of the stone wall path was open to the public,but in December 2018 the whole path was opened up to allow visitors to walk around the outer perimeter of Deoksugung Palace. The stone wall path, which also connects to the interior of the palace, is a great cultural itinerary that allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this historic district as well as a recreational space offering relaxation on one of the benches along the way.
