광진교 8번가
A unique observatory built under the Gwangjin Bridge pier, one of only three such structures in the world, alongside Paris's Pont de Bir-Hakeim and Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge. The entrance is located on the bicycle path side in the middle of the bridge; take the stairs down to reach the observatory. Surrounded by glass walls on all sides, it offers unobstructed panoramic views of the Han River. Standing on the reinforced glass floor feels like floating directly above the river water. It's the perfect healing spot to enjoy 'water gazing' while watching the river flow gently below. Admission is free, but it closes during winter (December-February) due to freezing risks. Note: There are no restrooms inside, so please use facilities beforehand.
Highlights
- Under-bridge deck at Gwangjin, one of 3 in the world
