It is recommended to purchase tickets online in advance to go to the observation deck. There was a long line for tickets on the day. Also, the observation deck can only be reached by a very steep staircase, so if you are not confident in your legs, it is better not to go.

[Scenery] A large botanical garden, a great walking experience in just a few hours [Fun] It's right across the street from the Olympic facilities and the tickets are cheap. If you've been to Vienna's amazing Schonbrunn Palace and Gardens, you'll find the entrance very familiar. What's inside? There are plants from all over the world, some of which are planted under the roof. There are also Japanese gardens and Alpine gardens. Almost every plant has a little card attached, so you can tell where it came from. A very pleasant walking experience in just a few hours.
