"Eoseo oseyo .... in Seoul" a Seoul Travel Page by MEdelmann

Seoul has been the center of politics, economy, culture and transportation of Korea for six centuries since Taejo, the founder of the Joseon-dynasty, moved the capital here in the third year (1394) of its reign. Today one quarter of the nation´s population - about 10 million people - live in Seoul which serves as the broadband core of all branches of knowledge.

Seoul preserves numerous relics of the Joseon Dynasty: Dongdaemun and Namdaemun Gates, five extant palaces, namely Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung and Gyeonghuigung and royal tombs.

The litany of Seoul´s cultural heritage is endless. The city´s legacy wind´s through its labyrinthine alleys.

At the same time, Seoul has risen as a global landmark of modernity, with many must-see attractions: Lotte World, an amusement park; Seoul Tower, the symbol of Seoul, blazing the night trough, many parks and museums, department stores and other emporiums, jazz bars, cafés, etc .... These make Seoul an interesting tourist destination where visitors can find all the amenities and entertainment they could want.
