Nearby

Gyeongui Line Forest Park

It has no gate, no fee and no closing time, but it also has no car park anywhere along its 6.3 km — the operator says so outright and tells you to come by train. Which is fitting for a park that used to be one.

Yeouido Hangang Park

Free, ungated and open around the clock — and governed by a fine schedule most visitors never read. Camping or cooking outside a designated spot is KRW 1,000,000 for a first offence, and parking outside a marked bay is KRW 50,000.

AK Plaza Hongdae

A shopping mall standing over Hongik University Station. It never takes a closing day, and on weekends and public holidays it opens half an hour earlier than on weekdays.
