Namsan Mountain Park is located in the heart of Seoul and is one of Seoul's representative urban parks, with N Seoul Tower standing atop the summit. Namsan Mountain rises about 270 m above sea level with gentle slopes, and from the top visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of downtown Seoul, making it a long-time popular destination for residents to relax and take walks. The attractions within the park are distributed from the summit down to the foot of the mountain. The summit centers on the tower, where the observation deck offers a sweeping view of Seoul's city skyline; the love lock wall beneath the tower is widely known because multiple Korean dramas were filmed here, making it a favorite photo spot for visitors. The summit also preserves the remains of a beacon fire station from the Joseon Dynasty used to transmit emergency signals, which has now become a lookout platform where visitors stop to gaze into the distance. Following the trail leads to the Palgakjeong Pavilion, a pavilion suited for rest and viewing that also attracts many visitors thanks to its appearance in Korean dramas. Walking down the trail from the summit, you can see cable cars moving slowly through the mountains, and the vegetation on both sides of the trail changes with the seasons, becoming especially lively during the spring cherry blossom season and the fall foliage season. At the foot of the mountain is the fountain plaza, well known because the Korean drama "Lovers in Paris" was filmed here. Beside the plaza is the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, in front of which stand monuments engraved with Ahn Jung-geun's handwriting. Descending the steps from the fountain plaza leads to the "Samsoon Stairs," named after the Korean drama "My Name is Kim Sam-soon," which attracts many drama fans to visit. After nightfall, the tower lights up and complements Seoul's nighttime cityscape, making it a highly favored viewing time for visitors at Namsan Mountain Park. Multiple trails within the park connect the summit with the various areas at the foot of the mountain, and whether you choose to hike up or take the cable car, you can experience the atmosphere of Seoul's city and nature blending together along the way.

Purchased Everland tickets through Trip.com at a fantastic price of less than S$40 per person, compared to the official gate price of KRW 68,000. Such great value! The redemption and park entry process was smooth and hassle-free.We were especially excited to see the famous meme marmots in person — they were every bit as cute as we expected! The park also had adorable capybara plushies dressed in Korean sheep hats (양모리), which were hard to resist.The zoo was surprisingly entertaining, and among all the attractions, our absolute favourite was Snow Buster! We had never experienced this kind of ride at any other amusement park we’ve visited, making it a really unique and memorable highlight of the day.Overall, we had a wonderful time at Everland. Great ticket savings, smooth entry and plenty of fun experiences. Definitely recommend booking through Trip.com!

Lotte World Tower is impressive day or night, but we loved it most after dark when the whole facade lights up. Inside the mall there's a detailed model of the tower, and outside next to it there's a garden with white arches that glows at night and is great for photos. We combined it with the aquarium and dinner in the mall. Easy to reach from Jamsil Station (Lines 2 and 8).

When I visited Seoul Sky, I saw a spectacular panoramic view of Seoul. I felt that the ticket price to ride the elevator was well worth the visit. During our visit, they had the Star Wars attraction on the 117th floor and we had a great time there. Thankfully it was a nice clear day when we visited so we managed to get beautiful views. I recommend visiting during off peak or on weekdays so that it is not so crowded and that you can take nice photos at the observation decks. The staff were friendly and efficient. It was a pleasant experience overall.

Caribbean Bay is the largest and most famous water park in South Korea. It is located in Yongin, right next to Everland theme park. It features thrilling water slides like Mega Storm, a giant wave pool, and a lazy river to relax in. There are also large indoor pools and warm spa facilities so you can enjoy yourself whether it is too hot or rainy. The park is kept very clean and safe with plenty of lifeguards on duty. However, if you go during the peak summer season (July and August), it gets extremely crowded, and you may have to wait 1 to 2 hours in line for rides. It takes about 1.5 hours to reach from central Seoul, and extra fees apply for locker and life jacket rentals. If you pre-book your tickets online and go early in the morning, you can avoid the crowds and have an incredible time!

Well, definitely worth visiting, not just for families with kids but adults as well. It was truly eye opening to see such a wide arrays of sea creatures especially fish and tortoises. I spent about 2 and a half hour to complete the tour.

In the height of summer, Seoul Tower is more tiring with its uphill climb, but less of a hassle waiting for the cable car. It's a must-see attraction for first-time visitors. You can choose whether or not to go up the tower at your own expense; it's similar to the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. The all-glass bathrooms inside the tower are a major highlight! 😂

The Olympic Main Stadium was used as the main stadium for the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. The opening and closing ceremonies of the Games, as well as various track and field events, marathons and other sports were held here. The venue is often used for various sports events held in Seoul, including the Seoul International Marathon, and is also the home stadium of the Korean Football K League "Seoul FC". It's really beautiful
