Famous tourist attractions are abundant in Seoul,
but look around and you will find the city is dotted with relaxing
spots where people can take walks or just spend a few minutes resting. A
vacation plan should not be lacking in new experiences and sights, but
isn't the purpose of vacation "rest and recovery?" When your busy
schedule has you feeling fatigued, stop by one of these healing
locations to rest your body and soul.
Cheonggyecheon Stream & Cheonggye Plaza
Cheonggyecheon Stream runs through the heart of
Seoul from Jongno-go to Jung-gu. The stream and the green space it
supports blend with the modern buildings all around for an atmosphere
perfect for dates; many young couples can be seen dipping their toes in
the cool water or strolling hand-in-hand along the promenades both day
and night. Enjoy a carefree walk following the stream, stopping along
the way to visit the many nearby tourists attractions, including the
Jongno and Euljiro areas.
N Seoul Tower
The observatory atop N Seoul Tower provides one of
the most beautiful views of the city and it is no surprise why this
site is constantly selected as a top date spots by couples. Another
charm to Namsan
Mountain is the walking trail, a quiet oasis in the middle of the
bustling metropolis. Ride the Namsan Circulation Bus to the peak, and
walk down the trail to enjoy the romantic ambiance of autumn in the
city.
Ttukseom Hangang Park
There are twelve citizen's parks along the banks of
the Hangang River and people flock to the parks year round to enjoy
outings with family and friends. The parks offer various amenities such
as swimming pools, walking paths, bicycle rental locations and trails.
Of all the parks, Ttukseom Hangang Park offers the most facilities for
thrill-seekers, including sports climbing, windsurfing and extreme
sports.
Hongdae (Hongik University Street)
Hongdae is definitely the trendiest hangout for
Seoul's youth. From amature musicians to clubs and street performances,
there is something here for everyone to enjoy. If you're feeling
hungry, wander through the winding streets and alleyways to find one of
Hongdae's many unique cafes and restaurants. Recently, the railroad
tracks for the previous Gyeongui Line were removed and the area
around Hongik University Station, Exit 3 was turned into a park,
bursting with energy and culture. If you're looking for a unique place
to visit, don't miss this new attraction.
Haneul Park
Haneul Park is one of five parks that make up World Cup Park, and is closest to the sky, hence it's name (haneul
means 'sky' in Korean). Haneul Park is most famous for its vast fields
of silver grass. The feathery grass dancing in the wind is a beautiful
scene, making this park a popular photoshoot location. Be sure to have
your camera ready and your eyes open when you visit; you never know
what famous people could be filming here!
