Seoul is the vibrant capital of South Korea and a treasure trove of diverse attractions and activities that cater to every traveller’s interest. From its ancient palaces to cutting-edge technology hubs, Seoul promises an unforgettable experience that seamlessly bridges the past and the present.
Start your adventure by visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of Seoul’s Five Grand Palaces. Here is where you can watch the changing of the guard ceremony as well as explore its stunning architecture. Nearby is also the Bukchon Hanok Village, a well preserved traditional Korean village that dates back over 600 years and is known for its charming alleyways and historical Korean style houses. The other Grand Palaces you should add to your itinerary include Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung, Changdeokgung, and Gyeonghuigung. If you’re craving a deeper cultural immersion, we recommend a visit to the ancient Jongmyo Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site dedicated to the Korean royal family’s ancestral rituals.
A stop at the Seoul Tower is a must for travellers. Situated on Namsan Mountain, Seoul Tower is one of the highest points in the city and offers visitors panoramic views of the city, which is especially vibrant at night. The tower has multiple observation decks that include both indoor and outdoor viewing areas depending on preference. While you can hike to the summit, it’s also easily accessible for everyone by taking a cable car that provides a quick and effortless ascent to the summit.
Seoul also boasts a wide range of museums that cater to different interests - whether it’s art, history, technology, or culture. We recommend visiting the National Museum of Korea to see extensive collections of Korean cultural artefacts, or the Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, which showcases traditional Korean art as well as modern and contemporary art from around the world. Another great museum is the National Palace Museum of Korea. This museum is situated in Gyeongbokgung Palace and is where you will find royal artefacts and treasures relating to the lifestyle and culture of the Korean royal family.
Finally, if you have time for a day visit, Seoul’s location allows you to visit some amazing places. About a three-hour drive from the city lies the city of Andong-si, a folk village that is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List. If you’re craving some adventure, head over to Everland, South Korea’s largest theme park. Located about an hour from Seoul, it's an adventure land that also includes a zoo and water park.

Seoul is a food lover's paradise, and for good reason. It offers a wide array of culinary delights from traditional Korean dishes to international cuisine. If you want to immerse yourself in the food scene, then visiting a street market is a must! We recommend going to Gwangjang Market to try tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and mayak gimbap (seaweed rolls). Myeongdong is another popular location with street vendors selling all types of delicacies. When you’re walking around the city, you can also find a range of Korean BBQ restaurants serving grilled and marinated meats.
