Seolleung and Jeongneung Royal Tombs — Attraction in Seoul

Really enjoyed visiting this UNESCO world heritage site. It's not just an incredible historical site, but a fantastic walking/running forest trail through a beautiful park in the middle of Seoul, all for the unbeatable price of W1000 (per adult). Credit cards accepted. Went very early on a summery Sunday morning and it was a very peaceful, gentle walk - enjoying nature, the sounds of birds, and the history of the site. There were very few visitors and among them, mostly people on their morning walk/run. Lots of benches in the shade to sit, reflect and enjoy the surroundings.

There are trails for wheelchairs/strollers (with assistance) and parking is  available right next to the site. Fascinating attraction that combines...

Realistically, this is a city park dedicated to the royal tombs. The park is big, clean and very well maintained, with total 3 royal tombs to visit, the KRW 1,000 entrance fee is definitely worth it.

Visited around noon, can see a lot of locals coming here for a walk, especially office workers around the area. Despite the crowd, the walk was relaxing. Can easily spend 1 to 2 hours here.

While there is information about the architecture, some of them are only available in the Korean language. Although there's a floor plan available in the pavilion, but the pavilion is about 5 to 10 minutes walk to Seoulleung Royal Tomb.
