Hwaseong Fortress is a perfect half day trip from Seoul. It looks otherworldly, particularly the area near the hill, where reeds and pines surround the slithering walls and towers. The large gates with their elegantly and richly painted roofs have survived the test of time very well, and still enclose lovely city with plenty of cosy bars and cute souvenir shops!

It's a big fortress so make sure to be ready for a lot of walking and stairs especially going to Paldalmun gate. Suwon is very nice. Some korean dramas are filmed in this area. Make sure to download Papago.

Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, is a great place to spend time with family or a loved one. The area beautifully blends traditional Korean charm with a modern atmosphere, and there are many trendy cafés and restaurants nearby, making it a popular spot for young people as well.
However, parking can be very difficult on weekends or public holidays, so it’s recommended to take the subway or use public transportation instead.

This place is magnificent. It blends the old fortress together with new and hip town within the fortress. Really worth my trip to Suwon. It's not touristy, mostly locals. I really enjoyed my day trip to Suwon.

Suwon is one of the travel spots I highly recommend for anyone planning a trip to Korea. The city has a calm and peaceful vibe, with plenty of interesting attractions where you can take beautiful photos around local villages, visit filming locations from your favorite series, and walk along the fortress walls for a stunning view of the city from above. It takes only about an hour to get here from Seoul by bus, making it a perfect one-day trip destination.

No ticket cost.
We can walk around the fortress.
Too big for walking. May be 2 to 3 hours to complete 1 circle.
We can see the fortress on the way.
At the top, we can have the good view of suwon.

I am so glad that we got out of Seoul for the day to visit Suwon.
Walked around the fortress, nice and peaceful with beautiful autumn foliage.
And I had the best coffee at a little coffee shop in town.

Great experience. Very large fortress with city walls in good conditions and a great palace. No crowds like in Seoul. And a very nice old town.
