Yongsan & Itaewon

Getting here

The underground Museum Nadeulgil links Ichon Station to the west gate of the National Museum of Korea. It stays shut on days the museum is closed. Samgakji Station on Lines 4 and 6 serves The War Memorial of Korea. Hangangjin Station is the stop for Leeum. The official route starts at an exit with no street elevator, so choose your exit from the station list first. It ends with an uphill road of about 5 minutes. Walking times in official directions may not fit a wheelchair trip.

The ground

These notes come from public data and online sources.

National Museum of Korea

The permanent galleries are large and span three floors. Elevators and free wheelchair loans make the distance easier.

Yongsan Family Park

Paths slope gently overall, with benches and shade. The way to Second Plaza and Taegeukgi Hall is steep and uneven, so choose how far to go before you start.

Hills

Travel accounts say Gyeongnidan Street is steep and gets steeper further in. Korean Forest Garden has a long, steep slope on the way in. For flatter ground, the paths at Yongsan Park Officers' Housing Complex 5 are even and flat.

Itaewon streets

Itaewon Antiques Street is about 1 km long, so visiting many shops adds up. Its slopes and rest spots are not known.

Hidden: high walking load

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