What to Expect from a Cruise on the Han River

The Han River flows right through the heart of Seoul; during the day, you can enjoy views of the city from the comfort of a cozy riverboat, and in the evening—from May to September, during the warm season—you can witness the spectacle of the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain, the longest fountain in the world located on a bridge, yet another Guinness World Record held by Seoul.

Features of the River Cruise

When embarking on a cruise on the Han River, you will board a cozy boat equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay (including life jackets, just in case you feel like taking a swim). The cruises usually include a route under several of Seoul's famous bridges, each illuminated by lights, creating the impression that you're moving through a field of stars. In the evening, the Banpo Bridge transforms into a rainbow fountain, which is especially impressive after a couple of glasses of wine (one of the cruise options even includes a buffet dinner right on the boat).
