Why visit Seoul?
Seoul is a dynamic city where historic palaces, leafy hills, and glass towers sit side by side. You will find a fast-paced, design-conscious metropolis that still feels welcoming and surprisingly green, with neighbourhoods that each offer a distinct personality.
What to expect
In Seoul you can move from tranquil palace courtyards to fashionable streets in minutes. Areas like Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Gangnam showcase the citys shopping, music, and nightlife, while the Han River and surrounding hills offer wide-open views and peaceful walking paths.
Plan your trip
Seoul works well as both a short city break and a starting point for exploring the rest of South Korea. Efficient rail connections make it easy to reach coastal cities, mountain resorts, and cultural towns, while the citys airports keep you well connected across the wider region.
