Seoul Travel Information

Once a drab capital, Seoul today is an exciting metropolis with elegant high-rises, chic hotels, restaurants overflowing with gastronomic delights, shops brimming with beautiful merchandise and renovated palaces worthy of the kings who built them.

A city of fashionable discos, karaoke bars, coffee shops and stores selling everything from designer-label clothing to freshly baked French bread, Seoul is also home to a maze of markets, where vendors continue to sell dried fish, ginseng and kimchi, as they have done for hundreds of years.
