What to do in Seoul : Tips, places, hotels and restaurants
Capital of the Republic of Korea, Seoul has more than ten million inhabitants. Located on the Han River, its location was probably already occupied in the Palaeolithic era, and its known history dates back to 18 B.C. It was also the first Asian city to experience modernisation with the telephone, tram and running water. Seoul has a humid climate, with fairly cold winters and very hot summers, and there is a marked difference in temperature between the seasons. Metro and buses operate throughout the city and are both practical and inexpensive. An international airport also serves the city. You can visit a number of sites north of the river including the five palaces of the Joseon Dynasty, the Jongmyo Shrine, Namsan Park, Namdaemun Market, the World Cup Stadium, the 63 Building, Bukhansan National Park and other places around the city such as Caribbean Bay, the Folk Village and Hwaseong Suwon Fortress. Do try the local cuisine which is elegant, varied, and delicious. Many types of accommodation are available to you, from luxury hotels to family accommodation and budget motels.
