10 Scenic Walking Areas in Seoul That You Shouldn't Miss
August 31, 2021 Brandee Mangan
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.

We visited in the winter. It was a very peaceful walk away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Lovely.
