Free Viewpoints in Seoul

While there are so many things to do in Seoul for free, this is something that you must add to your itinerary. Seoul has a gorgeous skyline! And if you can get to see it for free, why not explore these free viewpoints in Seoul? You might even find something to do nearby after a bout of calm and serenity. 

Seoul Metropolitan Library with A Historic View (with a Caveat)

Unwind amidst the history of Seoul at the Seoul Metropolitan Library! This architectural gem, built in 1926, once housed the city hall. Today, it offers not just a vast collection of books (over 200,000!), but also a hidden gem – a rooftop cafe and park.Imagine sipping coffee and enjoying a breathtaking view that stretches from the Seoul City Hall down to Gwanghwamun Plaza, all the way to Gyeongbokgung Palace and the President’s House. It’s a truly unique perspective on the city’s rich history.

Bugak Skyway with Breathtaking Views

Bugak Skyway offers a unique experience on this list. While the surrounding valleys boast stunning 360-degree views, the true beauty lies in the destination itself – Bugak Palgakjeong pavilion.This colorful octagonal structure perched atop Bugak Mountain is a popular spot for couples, especially in the evenings when the city lights twinkle below.Getting there is part of the adventure. The easiest way is by car, but for the more adventurous, there’s a 3-kilometer hike (about an hour) that rewards you with stunning scenery.

It’s the perfect spot to take a break, grab a coffee at the lovely cafe, and soak in the stunning panorama.

World Cup Park for Panoramic Views

Here’s the beauty of World Cup Park: unlike some viewpoints in Seoul, you won’t need to break a sweat to enjoy the breathtaking views. Both Haneul Park and Noeul Park offer stunning panoramas without requiring a challenging climb.Hop on one of the convenient electric cars, find a comfy bench, and prepare to be wowed. Feast your eyes on the majestic Han River winding its way through the city, catch a glimpse of the iconic Seoul Battleship Park, and if you time it right, witness a magical sunset painting the sky in vibrant hues.
