Seoul World Cup Stadium

서울월드컵경기장

The football stadium at Sangam built for the 2002 World Cup, also hired out for large open-air shows. World Cup Park shares the name and is a different place, so it is worth reading the ticket and the map together.

Mangwon Market

It opens at 10:00, later than Seoul's other well-known markets, which makes it a practical first stop after a slow start.

World Cup Park

A park made out of the Nanjido landfill, which took Seoul's rubbish for fifteen years from 1978. It opened in 2002 and is divided into five areas, two of which are hills built from the waste itself.

Nanji Hangang Park

Three kilometres of riverside at Sangam-dong, from Hongjecheon Bridge to Nanji Bridge. Footbridges drop into it — one between Noeul Park and Haneul Park, another from Peace Park — so it can be walked into from the World Cup Park side above. Its landmarks are the Nanji campsite, where barbecue and overnight camping are allowed, and the Mirror Fountain, which plays from May to October.

Mangwon Hangang Park

A 7.4 km stretch of the north bank between Wonhyo Bridge and Seongsan Bridge. Its flood plain is open lawn with long sightlines, and downstream of Seongsan Bridge sits Seoul Battleship Park, built around three decommissioned naval vessels. Mangwon is not on the operator's list of the river's twelve bicycle-hire points, so a bike has to be brought here or hired in another district.
