Why visit Seoul
Seoul layers five centuries of palaces with the world’s most plugged-in urban culture: Gyeongbokgung’s changing of the guard, Bukchon’s hanok alleys and the neon of Gangnam and Hongdae. The food runs from 24-hour barbecue joints to street stalls selling tteokbokki and fried chicken with beer - the national pairing. Night markets, jjimjilbang spas and a DMZ tour keep day three full.
