Here's a list of the things you should do if you visit Seoul in South Korea. These suggestions
are based on our favorites. the activities will give you a good taste or what Korea has to offer.
Our ranking is based on how fun they are and how close to they are to Seoul.
Seoul is the capital of South Korea, while also being its largest city. It is major center for finance
and culture on the Asian continent. One of the most modern cities of Asia, the capital has a rich
historical past. The combination of the old and the new make the city one of the most unique
places in the world. Seoul also has a vibrant nightlife, an aspect not many associate this traditional
city with.
With as rich a past as Seoul has, the city is bound to have palaces. Tourists will enjoy visiting
several palaces in this city, the most important of which is Gyeongbok Palace or the Palace of
Shining Happiness. A huge palace complex, the Gyeongbok Palace seems even more
overwhelming because of the mountains in its background. This is the oldest and the largest
palace in the capital city. Avid photographers will delight in capturing its architecture. The official
residence of South Korea’s President too, is nearby. If you exit from the back gate of the Palace,
then you shall be able to see the Blue House, the President’s official residence.
Oh, the serenity! A walk along this 5.8-km (3.6-mile) stream is almost as good as a spa for clearing one's mind or rethinking a deal. While it's just off Sejongro, one of the busiest boulevards in Seoul, Cheonggyecheon is remarkably quiet because the stream is more than 15 ft. (4.6 m) below street level and feels a little like a dugout. You can take an organized walkingtour (register online in advance) or stroll alone. It's very serene with small waterfalls, and nearly two dozen overhead bridges. Don't be surprised if you see more couples here than in New York's Central Park.
But if you want to escape the harsher face of the city, and go into something mellow, then you
should take the river cruise. The river cruise brings to you a whole new face of Seoul. The best
time to take a cruise is at night. You can hire a boat from the Yeouido Island and sail along the
city, while enjoying its shimmering lights.
Alight from the boat and proceed to the Namdaemun
Market. This market comes alive only at night, and is the perfect place to pick up clothes, Oriental
spices, and almost anything. Bargaining is the thumb-rule here. From here, you can Insadong,
where you can taste some authentic Korean cuisine. If you want to avoid the crowds, then you
can visit Insadong on Sunday too, when the area is closed to cars.
Welcome to Seoul in South Korea *^^*
