May 5, 2022 Almeta Stockton

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Gwanaksan Mountain

Reviewed By 590jhl - Seoul, South Korea

The mountain in southern Seoul. Good to hike or walk in the forest. - The most popular course starts from the main entrance of Seoul University. Accessible by Bus #501 from Seoul Station. Approx. 45 min if there's no heavy traffic. - It's a long easy walk from the entrance. Also good to visit for children and seniors. - There's a nice valley which is rare in Seoul. Visitors can get into the water here.
