Seoul National Cemetery is far from the ordinary cemetery: a plenitude of events and celebrations attract both tourist and locals in their commemorations of the past.

Best time: April

Every April, the National Cemetery commemorates those who died in wars and pays respect to the ancestors by hosting an event with weeping cherry blossoms that symbolize the protection of the nation.
