Seoul - Korea

by Intrepidduck - last update: Dec 3, 2006

Capital City

Namdaemum Gate
The Korean capital, population 12 million, inspite of it's mega city statis has still remaining a human face and scale to it. Certainly around some of it's central city area. After venturing to all the tourist sites stroll about and just take it all in. It's a good idea to stay near to the city center to allow getting about on foot. However the city has an excellent subway to get you to a number of key sights and it is easy to use.
Detail inside palace.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Here an entire day could be spent as it's really a large park than simply a palace.

Insadong

Tired of parks and palaces, hungry or want a traditional Korean tea than this is the place to be in.

Pros:"Easy to walk around the central area and take in the sites."
Cons:"Two and half hours by train from Busan!"
In A Nutshell:"Megacity still with charm in a country which has lost much of this through progress."
