Sunrise
Area: Jongno, Seoul City Wall
The elevated city wall faces the dawn over Seoul’s eastern ridges, with neighbourhood roofs and the city in the foreground. It is an uphill walk from Hyehwa Station rather than a mountain hike, but steps are dim before sunrise and can be icy in winter.
Sunset
Area: Hangang River, Hangang Bridge
The western lawn looks along the Hangang toward sunset and bridge silhouettes, without a hike. Walk across the bridge from Nodeul Station; event setups can change access, so stay out of closed stages and keep cycle routes clear.
Sunset
Area: Mapo, World Cup Park
The western side of this plateau looks over the Hangang and city edge, with silver grass as an autumn foreground. Reaching it from World Cup Stadium Station still involves a walk and long stairs. Seasonal closing hours apply, so do not assume you can remain after sunset.
Sunrise and sunset on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of each month for comparing daylight through the year in Seoul.
