Nearby, the Bukchon Hanok Village offers a glimpse into traditional Korean life, with well-preserved hanok houses that date back to the 14th century. While Seoul's history is rich, its modern side is equally impressive. The city's skyline is dominated by the iconic N Seoul Tower, offering panoramic views from Mount Namsan. Myeongdong and Gangnam, Seoul's bustling districts, are perfect for those who enjoy shopping, dining, and nightlife. Don’t miss Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), a futuristic landmark designed by Zaha Hadid, which symbolizes Seoul’s commitment to blending innovation with culture cuisine is another enticing aspect of the city. From street food delights like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and hotteok (sweet pancakes) to fine dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, Seoul is a culinary paradise. For a unique cultural experience, visit the city’s traditional markets such as Gwangjang, where you can taste local delicacies and soak in the lively atmosphere. Seoul is a yeastination, but for ideal weather and a burst of color, consider visiting in spring or autumn when the cherry blossoms bloom or the fall foliage paints the city in vibrant hues. This perfect combination of past and present makes Seoul a must-visit city for travelers seeking a blend of history, culture, and modernity. |
