Walk through three of Seoul’s welcoming open-air spaces, beginning at Cheonggyecheon and continuing to Seoul Plaza before reaching Namsan Mountain Park. You’ll experience the changing character of parks in the city, from a linear urban setting to a broad civic green and a mountain park. The route is worth taking for the simple pleasure of seeing Seoul unfold outdoors, one refreshing pause at a time.
