About Seoul
South Korea's dynamic capital seamlessly merges cutting-edge technology and K-pop culture with serene palaces and traditional villages.
Seoul's history spans over 2,000 years, serving as Korea's capital for over 600 years during the Joseon Dynasty. The city was devastated during the Korean War (1950-53) but made a miraculous recovery to become one of the world's most technologically advanced cities. Ancient palaces built in the 14th century stand proudly among gleaming skyscrapers and neon-lit districts. Seoul is the birthplace of the global K-pop phenomenon and is at the forefront of technology, fashion, and entertainment. Families discover a safe, clean, ultra-modern city where robot servers deliver food, yet traditional tea ceremonies and palace guards continue ancient rituals. Korean hospitality, delicious food (from Korean BBQ to street snacks), and a perfect blend of old and new make Seoul endlessly fascinating for all ages!
