What to See in Seoul, South Korea

Seoul, the vibrant capital of South Korea, enchants travelers with its striking contrasts: ancient Buddhist temples nestled among towering skyscrapers, cutting-edge technology coexisting with deep traditions, and neon-lit streets leading to serene gardens. It's a city where you can never get bored!

Despite being nearly destroyed during the Korean War, Seoul has risen like a phoenix, becoming a dynamic metropolis. Start your visit at Gyeongbokgung, the city's premier palace, showcasing the majesty of the Joseon Dynasty. Also, explore the Eastern Palace complex, including Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung, surrounded by beautiful gardens perfect for peaceful strolls.

Even with a population of 10 million, Seoul offers quiet retreats like Jogyesa Temple, where you can experience local culture and even participate in a temple stay program.

Seoul's modern allure is equally captivating, with its skyline dotted with futuristic skyscrapers. Don't miss the observation deck at Lotte World Tower, South Korea's tallest building, for stunning city views.

Art enthusiasts will love Seoul's many museums, art centers, and unique installations. A fun highlight is the Gangnam Style statue in the Gangnam district, celebrating the famous music video with its iconic dance move.
