Enter this vast metropolis where the old and new happily co-exist – where colossal skyscrapers loom over grand palaces, peaceful pagodas, temples and shrines of centuries past. Spend your days experiencing Seoul’s rich history and culture, before immersing yourself in the city’s rapturous nightlife by the bright lights, while sipping some soju and treating your taste buds to an east-meets-west fusion of culinary classics.

Visit the traditional downtown heart of Seoul centred around the old Joseon Dynasty city’s grand Gyeongbokgung Palace, and discover its hidden history amongst more popular sights to behold, markets and hotels within its vicinity. Unlock the secrets of Seoul in the National Museum of Korea, and see the Royal apartments, lotus ponds and gardens within the Palace. Lose yourself in Insa-dong, the cultural centre of Seoul and popular tourist Mecca, where traditional antique stores abound, dotted with teahouses, art galleries, restaurants and other cultural treats.

Why not then head to Myeongdong, Seoul’s fashion and shopping haven, to find just that perfect outfit.For the nature buffs out there, visit Mt Namsan Park in the centre of Seoul for a day of hiking or just for some picture-perfect panoramic views of the sprawling city. Retreat to Yangjae Citizens’ Forest for a quaint picnic hot spot, have a scenic stroll along the impressive Hangang River, or head to Mount Inwang for some spiritual cleansing at the Inwang Temple, the famous shamanist shrine Guksadang and the unusual Zen Rocks.
