Tips to Banpo Hangang Park

For visitors who intend to rent a bicycle, station's Exit 8-2 route via a leafy neighbourhood is a shorter and pleasant route, exiting the underpass with the bicycle rental kiosk just right on your left.

Most of the park's attractions are nearer to station's Exit 8-1 route.

💡Banpo Hangang Park is a longer walking distance (but a pleasant one) from the nearest subway station to its Banpo Bridge section compared to Yeouido Hangang Park and Ttukseom Hangang Park.
