Gita in bici di un giorno da Seul a Goyang-si

Ready for a classic city-to-suburb ride? This route takes you from the bustling heart of Seoul, with its skyscrapers, palaces, and non-stop energy, all the way to Goyang-si, a chill city known for its leafy parks and the popular Ilsan Lake Park.

You'll cruise just over 42 km, mostly on smooth, paved cycleways—so it’s friendly for all kinds of bikes. About two-thirds of the journey is dedicated cycle path, making it a relaxed and safe choice, though keep an eye out for sections where surfaces or signage might be a bit “mysterious.” There’s a gentle mix of ups and downs, but nothing too punishing.

Along the way, you’ll skirt the Han River (perfect for a coffee stop), spot mountain backdrops, and see city life slowly fade into quieter neighborhoods. Goyang-si itself is a great place to wind down—maybe stroll around the famous lake or find some local eats before heading home.

In all, it’s a sociable and scenic spin from Seoul’s pulsing downtown to the open green of Goyang-si—a perfect way to escape for a day!
