Getting here

The ground

These notes come from public data and online sources.

Getting to the top

Circular buses are one way up. The Haneul Forest Trail deck path from Namsan Library is step-free, but whether you can climb it alone in a manual wheelchair is not known. Sources differ on whether Namsan Cable Car works by wheelchair. Stairs also lie between its upper station and the summit.

By car

Vehicles of Korean disability welfare card holders (grades 1–3) can enter after a card check, and older visitors with mobility aids may also be allowed. Call the park office at +82-2-3783-5900 to ask whether this covers you.

Paths

The North Circular Road is easy, and the park has benches and pavilions for rest. The full Namsan Trail runs 9.1 km and includes fairly steep slopes. If hills are hard for you, stay on the gentle North Ringway section.

The library side

The walk from the subway to the Hanyangdoseong Remains Exhibition Hall takes 20 minutes or more. From the Namsan Library stop for bus 402 or 405, the walk is 5 minutes. Older information places the library partway up Namsan, so the way there may be uphill.

Hidden: high walking load

These places stay out of the list above so they do not end up in a plan by accident.
