Seoul's Olympic History

Seoul hosted the Olympics in 1988. Currently the main Olympic Stadium is still standing along with other venues from the games, known as the Jamsil Sports Complex. Some of the sports stadiums are still used for the sports they hosted in 1988 while the Stadium seems to host mostly soccer games and concerts. Nonetheless if you're a history/Olympic buff it's still interesting to spend an afternoon wandering around these gigantic buildings that echo the 80s era. Nearby (30 mins walk; 15 min subway) there is also the Olympic Park, which is a nature park with a sort of gate commemorating the Games. There are further venues featured here as well. This is a bit more interesting as it's a lovely park with hills and a lake right in the heart of the city, as opposed to the Olympic Stadium which is mostly concrete. This park is also closer to Lotte World Tower so it's a good way to spend the day in Jamsil!
