Seoul Grand Park Seoul Grand Park

Public transportation is recommended on weekends and holidays!

On weekends and holidays, there are many visitors to the campground, Seoul Land, and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Gwacheon). For an enjoyable visit, we recommend using public transportation (Seoul Grand Park Station, Subway Line 4) rather than your own car to avoid parking difficulties and traffic congestion.
