As spring arrives, Seoul's urban landscape transforms with blooming cherry blossoms, offering residents and visitors picturesque spots to enjoy after work. Here are three recommended locations currently at their peak:
If you are traveling in Seoul right now, this is a very precious time for cherry blossoms to bloom. So, I recommend a good place to see cherry blossoms in Seoul.
Seoul National Cemetery (국립서울현충원)
Located in Dongjak-gu, this site is not only a solemn resting place for national heroes but also renowned for its cascading cherry blossoms. The weeping cherry trees create a unique and serene atmosphere. Easily accessible via Dongjak Station (Lines 4 and 9), it's advisable to visit on weekdays to avoid crowds.

Samcheong Park (삼청공원)
Situated in Jongno-gu, Samcheong Park offers a tranquil escape within the city. During cherry blossom season, its trails are adorned with blooms, providing a peaceful setting for walks. The park's location near Bukaksan Mountain allows for scenic views of Seoul, and its proximity to Samcheong-dong's cafes and galleries makes it perfect for a combined cultural outing.

Yangjaecheon Stream (양재천)
Flowing through Seocho and Gangnam districts, Yangjaecheon Stream is a popular urban trail. From April 3 to 27, the area hosts the Yangjaecheon Cherry Blossom Lantern Festival, featuring illuminated night views of the blossoms. The stretch between Yeongdong 1 and 2 Bridges is particularly favored for evening strolls and photography.

The Yeouido Cherry Blossom Road is also a very famous place.
However, since it is crowded with so many people, I recommend you to go somewhere else if possible.
Whether you're seeking a moment of reflection, a peaceful walk, or a cultural experience, these spots offer the perfect backdrop for enjoying Seoul's cherry blossoms during their peak.
