Seoul Forest
A big riverside park with a deer enclosure, gardens and café streets nearby.
Why go
Seoul Forest is a large park east of the city centre, with wooded walking paths, a deer enclosure, water gardens and open lawns popular for picnics.
It sits beside the Han River and the trendy Seongsu café district.
Opened in 2005 on land that had been a royal hunting ground and later a racecourse, Seoul Forest is one of the city's largest parks, split into themed zones — an eco-forest with roaming deer, wetlands, and riverside lawns beside the Han River.
