 |
|
| I like to go out and go running, bike rides, hiking, see nature, that sort of thing. I used to live near the river and had some nice jogging along the Han, now I'm looking to move back to Seoul or close to it (must be on the subway). I know obviously the best nature is far away from Seoul, but I would like to be in/near Seoul because of my girlfriend along with other factors. |

Anywhere along theHan River is great. Near Gangnam/Dogok area is the Yangjae Stream which is a great biking/walking trail.
In Itaewon, there is a great course for jogging that goes up Namsan. |

Northern Seoul will put you next to the Bukhansan National Park. 100's of trails. The main trails can get crowded on the weekend, but there are many that are less traveled.

There are a lot of Korean style bars and it kind of seems to be an area on the up and up.
Notable and perhaps a bit obscure: there's a really good Italian restaurant right by the station, owned by an Italian guy who used to be a chef at one of the five star hotels.
