Take the subway to Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon. Book your tickets online in advance to save time at the entrance and plan for a good half-day to walk around it.
Conclude at Gyeongbokgung Palace in the late afternoon to admire its splendor in the softer light and potentially witness the changing of the guard, checking closing times.
