A brief introduction to Seoul

The vision of soaring futuristic skyscrapers, traditional villages, and ornate palaces may be enough to demonstrate Seoul’s prowess as a top cultural destination, accompanied by a thriving cafe and dining scene to match.

You’ll find two of Seoul’s five grand palaces – Changdeokgung Palace and Gyeongbokgung Palace – right in the centre of the city, located in the ancient Jongno district. More than 500 years old, these landmarks offer a fascinating insight into South Korea’s rich past. From here, make a trip to the historical village of Bukchon Hanok, where you’ll find picturesque laneways that offer the perfect backdrop for a photo opportunity. Pick up local delicacies in its street markets, and sample local favourites of kimbap rice rolls, rice wine, and stir-fried seafood.

Seoul’s modern spirit can be explored in the upscale district of Gangnam. Modern Korean style can be found en masse across designer stores, upscale restaurants, and high-rise buildings, such as the city’s largest skyscraper, Lotte World Tower. Known for its youthful street culture, Hongdae is situated in Seoul’s south west fringes, a hotspot for offbeat art galleries, indie cafes, and tucked-away bars.
