Traveler reviews
Stuart
★★★★★a month agoNaksan Park is the perfect location for a light evening walk. The views from the top of the hill are stunning and it is a great spot to watch the sunset over Seoul. I would highly recommend this over Seoul tower as its free and not overly crowded with much better views. There are also some great cafes on the hill where you can get a drink and something to eat
Ka Yu CHAN
★★★★★6 months agoThis is a very beautiful hiking trail. Besides the great scenery, you can really feel the history and culture of the area as you walk along the old Seoul City Wall. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy both nature and heritage at the same time. I highly recommend coming just before sunset. The view of the city lights against the ancient stone wall is incredible, and it’s one of the best spots in Seoul for evening photography. You can start your walk from the Ihwa Mural Village. Combining these two spots makes for a great afternoon itinerary.
