One of the things that makes Seoul a world class city-- it this brilliant escape from the city, easily accessed by the subway. Hiking trails galore (sometimes too busy on pleasant weekends, but still. . .) Full of cultural relics and wonderful hikes . . . if you venture out far enough, it can feel very far from the maddening... More

We went here with a tour group and spent the whole weekend trekking around and wow was it perfectly gorgeous. An excellent climb for novices and experienced hikers alike. The views from the top are simply stunning. I would say that fall and spring might be the best times to go... best weather and scenery. More

There are many mountains in Seoul and Bukhansan is just one of them. It is loved my many locals and there are many hiking trails. It is safe to visit the mountain with locals at first and don't forget to take enough water. Also if you are not prepared for the steep mountain why not try the "dulegil" which goes... More

Bukhansan is a deeply enchanting forest park, and very easy to get to. I used the entrance at Gupabal stn, orange line. At the station there's a map of the whole park and bus directions (some in English). Bus No. 704 takes you to Bukhansan Seong. The way to the mountains is lined with hiking gear shops, convenience stores, restaurants... More

I am shocked that there are only two reviews of the National Park just a 30 minute metro ride from Central Seoul, but then again, I never saw any Non-Koreans on my second visit to the park. How to get there: As the Park covers 80 sq. km when you search for how to get there you'll have more than... More
