Seolleung and Jeongneung Royal Tombs, Seoul

You can visit by wheelchair: the main entrance has no step, a wheelchair route reaches both tomb areas, and there is an accessible toilet. The paths are unpaved, and key sights appear to be in separate parts of the grounds. These are the tombs of Joseon kings Seongjong and Jungjong and Queen Jeonghyeon.

Heads-up

The site closes on Mondays. If a Monday is a public holiday, it stays open and closes on the next non-holiday day instead.

From November to January, last entry is 16:30, so plan an earlier visit in those months.

Getting in

Entrance
You can reach the main entrance by wheelchair, with no step at the gate and a ramp on the approach. The approach may still be a little awkward by wheelchair; the reason is not known.
Tickets
The ticket booth appears to be right beside the main gate. Reaching the window by wheelchair can be a little awkward.
Parking
An underground car park next to the main entrance has 2 accessible spaces and a wheelchair-friendly elevator to ground level. Parking costs 400 won per 5 minutes for up to 2 hours, then 600 won per 5 minutes, as of October 2026. Ask whether the 80% disability discount covers you; it needs proof, a disability sticker on the car, and the person with a disability in the car.
Route
From Seolleung Station Exit 10, the walk is 7 minutes. From Seonjeongneung Station Exit 3, it is 16 minutes.

Inside

Paths
The paths are unpaved but wide and mostly flat. Some stretches have flat stone slabs that can be uncomfortable by wheelchair. Older information from 2021 mentions dirt paths and three hill paths.
Wheelchair route
A wheelchair and stroller route links the entrance, the front of the history and culture hall, the areas around both tomb shrines, and a loop on the Seolleung side. Check the course map on the official site first, because many forest paths are not part of this route.
Burial mounds
At Seolleung, the king's and queen's burial mounds appear to sit on separate hills. If you cannot go up, see the tombs through the VR view on the official course page.
Toilets
The accessible toilet has an emergency bell and appears to have grab bars on both sides, but parts of it may be awkward to use. Toilets are beside the entrance and beside the history and culture hall, so ask at the ticket booth which one to use.
Wheelchair loan
You can borrow a wheelchair for free near the entrance ticket booth. There are 3 in total.
