Seoul Forest is a great spot for a wide array of cultural and leisure activities. It was the first park established with the citizens’ initiative and is easy to get to by subway with easy access to the center of the city. The forest consists of four distinct spaces: Culture & Art Park, Education Park, Eco-Forest, and Riverside Park. Located next to the Hangang River, it offers a public space for a variety of cultural and leisure activities.
