Location

City Hall Station is a station on Seoul Subway lines 1 (Blue Line) and 2 (Green Line). Despite being regarded as a terminus of Line 2, it is not actually true terminus despite its position as the first station of Line 2. As its name suggests, Seoul City Hall is located right next to the station. Deoksugung, a historic palace of the Joseon dynasty, is on the other side of the boulevard named Taepyeongno.
