Traveler reviews
Stuart
★★★★★a month agoThe Eungbongsan Palgakjeong Pavilian is located in a lovely park in Seoul. The park is within walking distance of the metro and the views from the Pavilion are stunning. Its the perfect spot to watch the sunset over Seoul and is very calm and relaxing. There is also a outdoor gym which is free to use and public toilets nearby. The only downside is that there are a lot of stairs to access the Pavilion so something to be aware of. Better views than the N Seoul Tower
