Suggested Itineraries
[City Night Walk Course]
From Story-Filled Yongsan Park to the Lights of Nodeul Island
Course Explanation
Just a few steps from the heart of Seoul, the city’s night reveals an entirely different charm. Yongsan Park, once the site of U.S. military officers’ housing and now returned to the public, is a peaceful retreat where history meets nature. Sunlight and breeze passing between the red-brick buildings quietly hold traces of Seoul’s past.
After a stroll, enjoy modern Chinese cuisine at Shinryu Yongsan, located beneath Sinyongsan Station. Blending the rich flavors of traditional Chinese cuisine with a modern touch, this restaurant captivates food lovers with its refined atmosphere and attentive service.
As the sun begins to set, make your way to Nodeul Island, a place where the last light of the day gently lingers. From the island, the golden skyline of Yeouido and the 63 Building unfolds before you, offering one of Seoul’s most iconic night views. Pause for a moment and listen to the quiet stories the city shares at the end of the day.
Finish your journey at LOAF LOAF, a stylish brunch café. Pair authentic European-style bread with fragrant coffee or a glass of wine, and let the day’s fatigue melt away.
Built on the former site of U.S. military officers’ quarters, Yongsan Park is a unique space where Seoul’s history and nature coexist. Its red-brick buildings and wide lawns create a sense of tranquility in the middle of the city. Walking along the paths, you’ll encounter scenery that reflects time and change. Rest areas throughout the park offer comfortable spots for families, couples, and friends to sit and talk.
Yongsan Park also features attractions such as the American Lounge, reinterpreting historic housing in a modern style; a children’s indoor playroom with kids-only restrooms and a nursing room; and the Open House, sharing stories of actual American families who once lived here.
The park is thoughtfully equipped with facilities designed to accommodate visitors with disabilities as well as families with young children. The main entrance and accessible pathways are free of slopes or steps, and portable ramps are placed throughout the park to support comfortable wheelchair and stroller movement. The information desk offers wheelchair and stroller rental services, while accessible restrooms are available in the lodging buildings and kids-only restrooms and a nursing room are provided inside the indoor children’s playroom.
