Experience the best of Seoul

Royal palaces and hanok villages sit among glass towers, buzzing markets and late-night food streets in Seoul, South Korea's capital.

Five grand palaces from the Joseon dynasty grace the city, led by Gyeongbokgung, with its colourful changing of the guard, and Changdeokgung, whose Secret Garden is a serene escape. Between them, Bukchon Hanok Village preserves traditional tiled-roof houses on sloping lanes, and Insadong is known for tea houses, galleries and crafts.

Myeongdong is a shopping hub of cosmetics and street food, Gangnam is polished and modern, and Hongdae buzzes with students, indie music and street performers. N Seoul Tower on Namsan gives panoramic views, the restored Cheonggyecheon stream runs through the centre, and the curving Dongdaemun Design Plaza hosts markets and exhibitions. The Demilitarized Zone along the border is a sobering day trip.

Gwangjang Market is the place for street snacks, and barbecue grilled at the table, bibimbap, kimchi in many forms and crisp fried chicken are everywhere. Cherry blossom along the Yeouido riverbank and autumn leaves in the palace gardens are the loveliest sights, while summer brings monsoon rain and winter is cold and clear.
