Seokchon Lake sits right next to Lotte World in Jamsil and is one of the best city escapes in Seoul. The lake is split into east and west sections, with a ~2.6 km walking trail that loops around both sides. It’s super popular with locals for jogging, strolling, or just relaxing by the water. The real highlight is cherry blossom season, when the whole path is lined with pink blooms and you get incredible views of the lake framed by Lotte World Tower.

Tips

• Go early morning or around sunset for fewer crowds and the best light.

• The trail is flat and easy — perfect for a casual walk.

• Pair your visit with a stop at Lotte World Mall or the cafés surrounding the lake.
