There’s a unique mysticism about Seoul that attracts you from the word go. Few could have imagined the contemporary Seoul as we know today was at the verge of destruction during the Korean War. Its resurgence is symbolic in many ways!

Seoul might seem intimidating at first but is in fact truly a place to explore. A stopover at any one of the five UNESCO world heritage sites in Seoul* is a good starting point to know the capital city more intimately, and is bound to transport you back in both time and space.
