Besides running, don’t miss out on sightseeing either~ The following attraction recommendations are for your reference when planning your free trip!

Seoul Tower

A visit to Seoul Tower is a classic must-do when in Seoul. Located on the summit of Namsan in Seoul, N Seoul Tower, also known as Namsan Tower, is one of Seoul’s most famous landmarks. Built in 1975, it is a structure that combines tourism and TV broadcasting. Namsan’s summit stands 243 meters high, and the tower itself is 236.7 meters tall, making it the highest point in Seoul. From the top, you can overlook the entire city, and the tower’s lights change with the seasons and themes, making it especially dazzling.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Gyeongbokgung Palace was the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty, built in 1394. It is the largest and most beautifully designed of the Five Grand Palaces of Joseon, making it highly representative. It has also appeared in Korean dramas such as Queen In-hyun's Man and Guardian: The Lonely and Great God. When visiting Seoul, consider taking a stroll through Gyeongbokgung to explore Korean history, admire the beauty of palace architecture, and even wear hanbok for a feeling of traveling back in time to the Joseon Dynasty.

Bukchon Hanok Village

Bukchon Hanok Village is a village filled with classic traditional Korean architecture. It is home to a cluster of traditional Korean houses with a history of more than 600 years. In the past, this area was where nobles lived; today, it is a residential area, with some buildings converted into museums and exhibition halls that you can visit for an admission fee. There are also tea houses and cafés. When visiting Bukchon Hanok Village, you can stroll among the traditional buildings and soak in the charming nostalgic atmosphere, or step inside a hanok and fully experience its unique appeal.

Ewha Shopping District

The Ewha Shopping District is located near Ewha Womans University Station on Seoul Subway Line 2. It is a shopping area that developed around Ewha Womans University, Korea’s first women’s university. The area is full of clothing shops and eateries that appeal to female college students, and since the main customer base is students, prices are quite affordable. You can easily find budget-friendly clothing throughout the area for just 10,000 to 20,000 KRW.
