SEOUL (GMP/ICN)

A dazzling high-tech metropolis rooted in ancient tradition, Seoul is a 24-hour sensory experience. The city’s historic heart is anchored by the grand Gyeongbokgung Palace and the UNESCO-listed Changdeokgung Palace, renowned for its “Secret Garden.” Visitors can wander the uphill alleys of Bukchon Hanok Village to see traditional wooden homes or take in panoramic vistas from the N Seoul Tower. Travelers can catch the early cherry blossoms at Seokchon Lake or join the high-energy Seoul Marathon. From the neon-lit shopping of Myeongdong to the late-night savory flavors of Gwangjang Market, Seoul is a masterpiece of dynamic evolution.
