Itinerary
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Janganmun Gate
Hwaseomun Gate
We will visit Hwaseong Haenggung Palace in the summer season(Jun-September). You will enjoy fantastic night view of the palace. (We won't visit Hwaseong Haenggung Palace in March to May and October to December.)
Heanggung-dong aka. Haenglidan-gil is a new hot place to visit now. The Kimbap place in [Extraordinary Attorney Woo](Netflix) is in this area. And it’s a great area to find something unique and check out one of the cool newtro cafes or restaurants there. Try some Korean food which you were not brave enough to try! (*We will take a walk at Heanggung-dong for 10~15 mins in summer season. No dinner or snack time. )

Traveler reviews
Cool cool cool!
Very cool and informative tour! Definitely recommend to book it over the weekend, this way you also get to see the palace from the inside. Our tour guide Dragon was very kind and answered all our extra questions (and even helped me find the stamps :)) You can tell that he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his tours, so I can definitely recommend booking with him!
Great tour of Suwon!
Matthew was very informative throughout the tour and shared a lot of historical context which heightened our overall experience of the tour! Great job and thank you!
