Seoul Parks and Gardens

Seoul's green spaces range from grand Joseon-era palace grounds like Gyeongbokgung and Deoksugung to modern ecological hubs like Seoul Forest and Haneul Park. The Han River serves as a central corridor for riverside parks such as Banpo and Yeouido, which feature bike paths and seasonal festivals. Specialized sites include the Seoul Botanical Garden's large-scale greenhouse, the Neolithic settlement at Amsa-dong, and the Olympic Park built for the 1988 Summer Games. These locations preserve historical burial grounds, traditional hanok architecture, and diverse native botanical collections.
