Getting here

Direct passages connect Samseong Station on Line 2 and Bongeunsa Station on Line 9 to the mall. Whether these passages have steps is not known. Directions for the royal tombs use Seolleung and Seonjeongneung stations. Directions for Bongeunsa Temple start at Bongeunsa Station Exit 1, which has no street elevator, so choose your exit from the station list first.

The ground

These notes come from public data and online sources.

Coex and the mall
Coex has elevators and accessible toilets, but some parts of using the accessible elevators can be difficult, as of December 2024. Allow extra time, and ask at the information desk at the east entrance on floor 1. How far a wheelchair can go across the whole mall is not known yet. Starfield Library has rest space and tables.
Bongeunsa Temple
Expect long, gentle ramps, dirt paths and some steps. No steep climb is known to be required for the main sights.
Royal tombs
A wheelchair route reaches both tomb areas. Paths are unpaved and mostly flat, with stone slabs in places.
Doors
World Golf History Museum has stairs at its main entrance, so use the back entrance. The Library of Intellectual Property has a revolving door, so call before you go and ask which door you can use.
