Seoul is a city that is a cool mix of old and new. Fashion, design and technology-forward, also one that is proud if it's heritage. Throughout the city, you can see temples and teahouses being used the same way they have been for centuries. Contrasting with a city offering the best restaurants, lounges, nightlife and karaoke - it's a city that doesn’t sleep. Every Seoul district has its own quirks and finding your favourite is part of the fun: Insa-dong, Myeong-dong, Yongsan and Gangnam are just a few to add to your list. Be sure to spend time enjoying the stylish boutiques, saunas, The World Heritage–listed Changdeokgung (the most beautiful of Seoul's five main palaces) and sample flavour packed Korean food. It's a dynamic city offering unique experiences.
