Planning a trip to Seoul, Korea?

We see, hear, and taste. We also smell and feel.
These stimuli can bring about changes in mood, thoughts, and actions. Sometimes they trigger creativity and problem-solving ability, and at other times, they refresh the mind and spirit. That’s why we actively seek to escape from the routine of daily life, akin to embarking on a journey.

Come visit Seoul. It is a place filled with countless Eastern and modern cultural stimuli.

In January 2024, the prestigious British daily, The Times, introduced Seoul and Busan in Korea as the ‘Tourist Destinations of the Year.’ The article highlighted that “Seoul and Busan are safe, with affordable and delicious food, coexisting past and present. Seoul’s subway fares are cheap and clean, and the orderly lines formed by passengers before the train arrives are impressive. There is no street crime or harassment, making it very safe for women to travel alone.” You can read the full article here.

In 1394, during the period of the Hundred Years’ War between France and England, Seoul became the capital of this country. About a century after that, Columbus discovered the New World. Korea, with a history spanning over 5,000 years, has developed a unique Eastern culture through the fusion of continental and maritime influences. For over 600 years, Seoul has served as the capital of this land, preserving the essence of Korean culture while safeguarding its unparalleled cultural heritage. This heritage continues to inspire the creation of future cultures.

Many of these places are located inside the Hanyang-Doseong, marked by the red line on the map above. This is true even if they are modern buildings or institutions. Therefore, We will list them by separating those located inside the Hanyang-Doseong and those outside. (Hanyang is the old name of Seoul.)
