Discovering the Historic Seoul City Wall

The final major stop is the Seoul City Wall, a sturdy remnant that dates back over 600 years. Here, you’ll find yourself in a place where history feels alive, set against a backdrop of Seoul’s modern skyline.
Gilson expertly guides you through different angles, highlighting the wall’s ancient stones while framing you against the city’s contemporary glass towers. We loved the way this location combines timeless tradition with modern innovation — a true symbol of Seoul’s identity.
Photographers can take advantage of the varied scenery, from stone walls to panoramic views, for about 20 minutes of shooting. The contrast here offers some of the most compelling images of the itinerary.
