After a busy morning exploring the sights around town, Tapgol Park is the ideal spot to relax, rest your weary legs and enjoy some lunch.

Tapgol Park is a great place to begin your day of discovery in Jongno-gu. This recreation and green space comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Allow time for other attractions like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, and National Museum of Korea to make the most of what's on offer in the area.
