A quick scenic hike at the Naksan Park

##seoulspots

Ready for Seoul’s softer side? Naksan Park is a scenic hilltop escape with dreamy white flowers lining the trails and sweeping city wall vistas!

Start your hike from 41 Naksan-gil (Jongno District) – it’s open 24/7, so come early for golden sunrise city views or twilight strolls with minimal crowds. Follow the main trail up the gentle hillside, pausing at lookout terraces for those signature panoramas of Seoul’s bustling neighborhoods, backed by the preserved stone remnants of the city wall.

Must-do: Admire (and snap) the windy sections of wall, often framed by lush blooms; in spring and early summer, white flowers transform the path into a secret garden. Bring water, as vendors are rare once you get higher. For your Insta feed, the best photo spot is midway up, where the wall curves and flowers border both sides—try a wide-angle shot with the city skyline behind you!

Practical tip: Naksan Park’s slopes are gentle but uneven in places, so don’t forget comfy shoes. Watch out for cyclists on the lower paths, and go in the morning or late afternoon for softer light (and more pleasant temps). Local insight: pace yourself and pause at benches along the way-—the views are best enjoyed unhurried!
