If you are a hiking enthusiast, these mountains in Seoul are probably the best choices for you. Mt. Gwanaksan, which is located in southern Seoul, is one of the best spots to enjoy the extravagant view of southern Seoul and Lotte Tower. With the highest peak at 630m, its rocky valleys are perfect for beginner-level rock climbers, or for people who have never rock climbed before.

Mt. Bukhansan, on the other hand, is for the more advanced hikers and rock climbers who are up for a challenge. Here, the highest peak is Baegundae Peak, standing 840m above sea level where you can see as far as the Hangang River. There are still many different peaks you can hike up on the way, depending on the different courses you can take.
