Hotels in Han River, South Korea

The Han River cuts through central Seoul, South Korea, with a climate that brings hot, humid summers (up to 86°F/30°C) and cold, dry winters (down to 23°F/-5°C). It's famous for its 12 sprawling parks, like Yeouido Hangang Park, and 27 bridges such as Banpo Bridge with its moonlight rainbow fountain. In summer, you can rent a bike from one of 30-plus rental stations and pedal along the 43-mile riverside path, or take a night cruise to see the bridges lit up-the Seoul Fireworks Festival in October is a big draw. Winters are perfect for ice skating at the temporary rinks set up near the river, and spring brings cherry blossoms along the Yongsan area.
