Bugak Palgakjeong

Unclaimed

A really nice place to visit. It was less busy than Namsan tower and I think the view of Seoul might be better. It's a smaller place with a pretty garden. I saw people walking up the route to the top, but I am not sure how long that would take or the difficulty of it. It was very quick to get there by car.

The Palgakjeong Pavilion on Bugak Skyway is a place of remarkable serenity and beauty throughout the year. Positioned at an elevation of 345 meters on Bugaksan's extensive 1,652,900 square meter summit, this traditional Korean-style pavilion has captivated many visitors and has become a beloved city attraction. The nighttime views from this pavilion, perched on top of the mountain, are undeniably breathtaking, creating unforgettable moments with cherished loved ones. However, we noticed that the pavilion itself is showing signs of wear and outdatedness. We believe that renovation of the pavilion and overall cleaning of the area could greatly enhance the experience of enjoying this beautiful place.

I visited the Bugak Palgakjeong Palace in early February. It was a good place to walk around; our Korean guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. I also watched the ceremony of changing guards. It was fun. I would like to recommend it to people, but with enough layers if people visit it during cold winter.

Amazing views here. Unfortunately, it was so foggy the day that I visited. Absolutely beautiful and so peaceful.

Nice view of Seoul city from higher ground. Less crowded too. Be prepared to hike for a bit though.
