Cycling day trip from Seongnam-si to Seoul

Hop on your bike in Seongnam-si, a lively satellite city known for its bustling tech industry and lush parks, and set out on a fun ride straight into the heart of Seoul! This 35 km route is perfect if you’re looking for mostly gentle paved and asphalt surfaces, with a chill mix of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads making up most of your ride. Expect some rolling hills—there’s a total ascent of around 345 meters, but the descents will give you plenty of breezy moments too.

The scenery shifts as you ride north, with urban landscapes gradually giving way to the iconic skyline of Seoul. You’ll finish near Seoul’s city center, close to historic spots like Gyeongbokgung Palace and the bustling streets of Myeongdong. It’s a great way to experience the transition from Seongnam’s modern vibe to the culture and energy of Korea’s capital, all pedal-powered. Don’t forget your camera—there are some great river views along the way!
