Deoksugung-gil otherwise known as Deoksugung doldam-gil, refers to the path that runs along the stone wall of the Joseon period royal palace in downtown Seoul.
The street is near City Hall Station’s Exit No. 1.
Approximately 900 meters long, the winding path is lined with maple and sycamore trees. The lane runs to a crossroads with a water fountain in the center and around here the smell of roasted chestnuts and baked sweet potatoes from carts will be unmistakable.
If you walk straight ahead, the path leads to Jeongdong-gil, which is also a beautiful spot for maidenhair trees. Alongside bustling cafes, Jeongdong Theater, Jeongdong First Methodist Church, Ewha Girls’ High School and former Russian Legation remain as pleasing architecture and witnesses to Korea’s early modern history.
Since the area is easily accessible to office workers around City Hall and Gwanghwamun district, avoid lunchtime, when it can be busy.
