Seoul
Seoul, a city where ancient temples nestle against futuristic skyscrapers, is a feast for the senses. From the bustling markets of Myeongdong to the serene beauty of the Gyeongbokgung Palace, every corner reveals a new and exciting experience. Prepare to be captivated by its dynamic culture, delicious food, and warm hospitality.
My journey began with exploring the historic heart of the city. The Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest of Seoul's Five Grand Palaces, is a must-see. Wander through its ornate halls and meticulously landscaped gardens, imagining life during the Joseon dynasty. Afterwards, I wandered through the charming Bukchon Hanok Village, with its traditional Korean houses, a perfect place to soak in the historical ambiance.
Beyond the historical sites, Seoul offers a modern and vibrant atmosphere. Shopping in Myeongdong is an experience in itself, with countless cosmetic shops, fashion boutiques, and street food vendors. For a breathtaking view of the city, head up the N Seoul Tower. And no trip to Seoul is complete without indulging in its incredible culinary scene!
