Why visit Seoul?
Seoul is a dynamic city where cutting-edge design, bustling districts, and centuries-old palaces sit side by side. You will find energetic streets, calm green spaces, and a mix of traditional and contemporary culture at every turn.
What to expect
From the historic heart around Gyeongbokgung to the neon lights of Myeong-dong and Gangnam, each neighbourhood has its own personality. Efficient public transport, late-opening shops, and a lively café scene make it easy to explore at almost any hour.
Plan your trip
Seoul works well for short city breaks and longer journeys that include other parts of South Korea. Use the city as your base to explore nearby mountains, coastal towns, and smaller historic cities that are easily reached by rail or coach.
