Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over palaces and pagodas.
You will find a contrast between modern skyscrapers and neon lights to Buddhist temples, palaces and pagodas in Seoul, as it is a fascinating mix of old and new.
Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavour, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. Another fine example of authentic ancient architecture is Changdeokgung Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
