## City Hall: where locker demand piles up

Around City Hall Station, tourists, business travellers, and crowds from events on Seoul Plaza all overlap in one place. The Deoksugung stone wall path and Jeongdong-gil exist to be walked, and continuing to Gwanghwamun easily fills half a day. Meanwhile coin lockers at City Hall and Euljiro 1-ga fill up during rush hour and peak season, and large suitcases don't fit in the first place. If downtown Seoul starts at City Hall for you, deal with your bags before anything else.

## A hands-free half day: Deoksugung → Jeongdong-gil → Gwanghwamun

Once your bags are stored: ① walk 3 minutes to Deoksugung and take a loop through the palace grounds, ② follow the stone wall path onto Jeongdong-gil past the museums and old western-style buildings, ③ continue 8 minutes to Gwanghwamun Square, then come back down through Seoul Plaza. That's a comfortable half day. Dropping bags at 8 a.m. on a weekday lets you be at the palace gate when it opens.

## Pairing with Myeongdong — and Sunday alternatives

Myeongdong is one stop on Line 2 from City Hall Station, or a 10-minute walk. Store your bags, shop in Myeongdong and Namdaemun Market, and collect them on the way back. Since Hoduga Seoul City Hall is closed on Sundays and shuts at 20:00 on weekdays, for a Sunday or a pickup after 8 p.m. check Glass Friends Optical outside Euljiro 3-ga Station Exit 1 (daily 09:00–20:00) or Bean Mamapapa in Jongno, which runs late.
