Seoul, South Korea’s vibrant capital, is a city where modernity and tradition blend seamlessly, offering visitors an exciting mix of cultural experiences, historical landmarks, and cutting-edge attractions. Whether you're exploring its ancient palaces or diving into its buzzing shopping districts, there’s something for everyone in this dynamic metropolis.
One of the top experiences in Seoul is a visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest and most beautiful of the city’s five grand palaces. Built in the 14th century during the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeongbokgung is an iconic symbol of Korea’s royal past. As you walk through the grand gates and into the palace grounds, you’ll be transported back in time to the country’s rich history. Don’t miss the changing of the guard ceremony, which takes place at the main gate and is a colourful, fascinating display of traditional Korean customs. Inside the palace, you can explore the stunning architecture, the beautiful gardens, and the National Palace Museum, which showcases royal artefacts and cultural heritage. The palace is particularly beautiful during the spring and autumn months, when the surrounding trees are in full bloom or displaying vibrant fall colours. Gyeongbokgung is a place where the past and present collide, offering a glimpse into Korea’s royal history while being situated in the heart of a bustling modern city.
After immersing yourself in Seoul’s royal past, it’s time to experience its vibrant modern culture, and there’s no better place to do this than in the lively district of Myeong-dong. Known for its fashion, beauty, and street food, Myeong-dong is one of the city’s most famous shopping districts. As you walk through the narrow streets lined with international brands, Korean beauty stores, and quirky boutiques, you’ll find yourself swept up in the energy of the area. It’s not just about shopping – Myeong-dong is a food lover’s paradise. From sizzling hot tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) to crispy fried chicken and sweet, fresh fruit juices, the street food here is a must-try. As you wander through the busy streets, you’ll also encounter vendors selling traditional Korean snacks, so be sure to sample some of the local treats while you shop.
If you're seeking a peaceful escape amidst the urban hustle, a visit to Bukchon Hanok Village is a must. This traditional Korean village, located between Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace, offers a rare glimpse into Seoul’s past, with its well-preserved hanok houses (traditional Korean homes) dating back to the Joseon Dynasty. Walking through the narrow alleyways of Bukchon, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a different era, with the unique architecture, tiled roofs, and beautiful courtyards. Many of the hanok houses are still occupied by locals, and some have been converted into guesthouses, tea houses, and cultural centres. You can visit these spaces to learn about traditional Korean life, art, and crafts. The village also offers incredible views of the surrounding modern city and the nearby mountains, making it a perfect spot for photos.
