Seoul Forest: what to see and do
A large green park beside the Han River with open lawns, ponds and tree-lined paths, good for slow afternoon walks.
Known for
- Open lawns for picnics
- The deer enclosure in the ecological forest
- Cafes and bakeries on the streets next to the park
What to do
Spend an afternoon walking, cycling or picnicking, visit the deer, and then walk to Seongsu for coffee.
Tip: Spring and autumn give the best colour. Bring a mat for picnics. It pairs easily with Seongsu next door.
