EXPLORE SEOUL
Olympic Park
Olympic Park combines the legacy of the Seoul Olympics with the older landscape of Mongchontoseong. It is a large park: a focused loop is more enjoyable than rushing between distant gates.
Suggested time1–3 hoursAllow extra time for travel and meals.

- Mongchontoseong’s grassy earthworks
- Outdoor sculpture and open parkland
A suggested way to explore
