A fantastic place to visit. Don't miss Namsan Square for stunning views, take the cable car to Seoul Tower, and leave a love lock at the fence; there's so much to enjoy.

The path to the tower is beautiful but be prepared for a long journey! It's better to take a bus to the tower if you prefer not to walk. At the tower's entrance, you are welcomed by stunning views, especially if you buy tickets to the observation deck. We visited in mid-May – a perfect time for such an outing.

This park is wonderful for walking; it has many hills, providing plenty of exercise and great city views. It was quiet with few visitors on the day I went.

Namsan Mountain is great not just for tourists but also for locals and hikers. You can take the tourist paths to the top for cafes and attractions, or try the less traveled hiking paths for a more authentic experience. I highly recommend exploring both!
