As the summer heat rises, many are seeking refuge in the cool spaces of libraries for a 'bookcation' (a blend of 'book' and 'vacation'). Seoul offers a variety of libraries ranging from serene public spaces to modern cultural complexes. Notably, Namsan Library, the first public library in Seoul with over 100 years of history, provides stunning views of Namsan forest. Gangdong Forest Library and Samcheong Park Forest Library offer tranquil natural settings, while Odong Forest Library and Cheongwoon Literary Library combine nature and cultural heritage. These libraries cater to all ages and offer unique architectural and thematic experiences, ideal for those looking to enjoy reading and contemplation in beautiful settings.
