About this experience

What to expect

Namsan Park is a landmark in Seoul, and N Seoul Tower is located here. Located on the top of a mountain 265 meters above sea level, this is a popular place for people to take in the surrounding scenery and get some fresh air. Take the Namsan Cable Car or walk to the top of the mountain. Namsan's scenery is beautiful all year round, but is especially spectacular when cherry blossoms and autumn leaves change. Korean dramas “My Name is Kim Sam-soon,” “Boys Over Flowers,” and “Rooftop Prince” were filmed right here. In addition, there is a 7km long walking trail around Namsan Park, filled with flowers and trees such as cherry blossoms, hollyhocks, magnolias, and azaleas.
