Seoullo 7017 (서울로 7017)

About this place

Seoullo 7017 is a remarkable example of urban regeneration, transforming a relic of Seoul's industrial past into a vibrant green artery. The name itself tells a story: '70' for 1970, when the overpass was built for cars, and '17' for 2017, when it was reborn as a pedestrian sky garden. This elevated park, stretching nearly a kilometer near Seoul Station, is a living botanical dictionary, home to over 24,000 plants arranged alphabetically by their Korean names. As you stroll along this 'sky garden,' you'll discover unique installations, cozy cafes, children's trampolines, and even a public foot bath. It offers unparalleled, elevated views of the bustling city, connecting historically separated neighborhoods. For a truly magical experience, visit at night when thousands of lights illuminate the pathway and surrounding cityscape, creating a futuristic, dreamlike atmosphere. Easily accessible from Seoul Station, it's a free and unforgettable way to experience the dynamic spirit of modern Seoul.
