Hiking in Seoul

The Namsan Seoul Tower is a must-visit landmark attraction for the visitors. Visible from mostly anywhere around the capital, the place is a beautiful observatory from the top of which the capital can be seen spread in all directions. The view from here is mesmerising and worth witnessing. As it is now a major tourist spot, it has innumerable cafes and restaurants around it which allow the people to enjoy their meals with a spectacular view. As the sun sets, the place is lit up in multiple colours, which makes it even more romantic and attractive at night. Location: 105 Namsangongwon-Gil, Yongsan 2(i)ga-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

The name Bukchon Hanok literally translates to "northern village houses”. The village is an actual neighbourhood with people’s homes but now many of the Hanoks have been converted into restaurants, tea houses, guest houses etc so that the visitors can experience the actual traditional Korean lifestyle as it is surrounded by the Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine. The walking tour across the whole place takes about 3 hr - 3 hr 30 min and is a round trip that begins from the Anguk station. The reservations should be made at least three days prior to the trip as it is one of most famous places to visit in Seoul.Location: 37, Gyedong-Gil, Jongno-gu, SeoulTiming: 9 AM to 6 PM every day
