Seoul Botanic Park

서울식물원

Magok, Seoul · 서울

A large park in the west of the city built around a bowl-shaped glasshouse holding plants from twelve world cities, with wetland and lake sections outside it.

Why it’s worth it

The outer park is free and the glasshouse costs almost nothing. In deep winter it is the warmest, greenest hour available in Seoul.
