Seoul

Seoul, with a population of 12 million, is a bewildering capital that takes a while to get to know well, but only because there is so much to see and do. Seoul – South Korea From the country’s best markets to glorious palaces, you can explore the different neighbourhoods and downtown areas that are linked by a spider’s-web subway system, which feels like its own underground world, with many stations connected by fascinating underground tunnels of uniquely Korean shops and restaurants The most popular areas for newcomers are Itaewon and Insadong but once you get to know the city you’ll find many other locales to explore and the expat communities that inhabit them, such as the upmarket Gangnam – now made world famous with the annoyingly catchy tune ‘Gangnam Style’ that took over the pop music world for a time!
