Namsan Park
Namsan Park is the forested mountain park in the middle of Seoul, home to N Seoul Tower, hiking and walking trails, and a stretch of the old Seoul city wall that visitors can walk along in sections. It functions as the city's central green lung, offering an escape from downtown density with genuinely good exercise trails as well as easier paved paths for casual walkers.
Beyond the tower itself, features like the Namsangol Hanok Village at the mountain's base (a small cluster of relocated traditional houses) and botanical garden areas add variety to a visit, making the whole mountain worth more time than just the tower alone.
