Seoul combines high-density urban energy with mountain-framed open space in a way that reflects its position within the Han River basin. Around Namsan, near the city’s geographic centre, wooded slopes rise above districts threaded by major roads and rail lines; the N Seoul Tower is one of the capital’s most recognisable markers. North of the mountain, Gyeongbokgung Palace recalls Seoul’s role as the Joseon dynasty’s capital, while markets, university quarters and business districts underline the pace of a metropolis constantly in motion. The broad Han River creates a rare horizontal pause in this vertical city, with parks, paths and public spaces along its banks.
