The Seoul Tourism Organization runs 38 free walking courses with trained volunteer guides in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese: the palaces, Bukchon, the Naksan city wall, Seochon's old alleys, and night courses such as Changgyeonggung after dark and the Namsan fortress wall.

The walk is free; palace admissions and any experience programmes along the way are paid separately.

Before you go

  • Book early for weekends and for April, May, September and October.
  • Guides are volunteers; a booking can be cancelled if no guide is free, and the office confirms by phone or email.
  • Cancel at least four hours ahead if you cannot go.
