ABOUT

Seoul is a dynamic capital where 600-year-old palaces stand beside glittering skyscrapers. Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, and the Bukchon Hanok Village showcase royal and traditional Korea—renting a hanbok gets you into palaces free. Myeongdong and Hongdae buzz with shopping, K-beauty, and nightlife, while Gwangjang Market serves bindaetteok and kimbap. N Seoul Tower and Lotte World Tower offer skyline views, and a DMZ tour is a sobering, fascinating day trip.
