About this activity

Most Suwon walks skim the surface. This one goes deeper, with stories that bring fortress walls and palace intrigue to life instead of a dry history lecture. You'll explore Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and step into pop culture at the kimbap shop made famous in Netflix's Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Small groups keep it personal, your host keeps it real, and if you're hungry for more, Suwon's Chicken Alley offers the finale: crispy fried chicken and ice-cold beer in the birthplace of chimaek.
