Seoul Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Seoul – a city that harmonises its ancient palaces with soaring modern structures and stands proudly as South Korea’s capital. Explore the city sights, here.

A #Seoul #vacation will bring you up close to the palaces, villages, museums, and markets much loved by locals and travelers. This is a city that has emerged in the 21st century as an economic powerhouse and maintained its rich, inviting culture.

#Visit the Gwanghwamun Square and see the statue of Sejong the Great, whose reign oversaw a golden age of literature, science and technology. The great leader sits before the grandest of Seoul’s five royal palaces, Gyeongbokgung, the Palace of Shining Happiness.

#Explore the adjoining palaces of Changdeokgung and Changgyeongung and see the changing of the guard at Deoksugung Palace. See yet another of Seoul’s great palaces, Gyeonghuigung, a royal refuge in times of unrest.

There is more than palaces in Seoul. Don’t miss the Namsangol Hanok Village, the Namdaemun Market and the peaceful wooded surrounds of the Bongeunsa Buddhist Temple, just to get started…

Korea is beautiful and legendary country. I love so much korea.

I have been to many countries and cities, but there is truely something special about these people in Korea. They are calm, kind, polite, extremely smart, yet funny, bit crazy at night (in a good way), and romantic. The culture, food, and the people makes this country great. It’s my favourite country of all for sure!!

Our camera guy recently returned from Seoul with a severe case of “Jeong” (a feeling of love, attachment and longing) for the city and its people. Come and explore Seoul with us now, and you’ll soon understand why.

I lived in Seoul, Korea for 2&1/2 years from 2016 to 2018, and it was the BEST time of my life i swear. Korea is such a beautiful, fun, vibrant, lively country to a point where I got so depressed when I came back to US. My 2&1/2 years life in Seoul equals to 10 years in US. Life in US feels so boring compared to that of Korea. Korea is a peninsula surrounded by oceans all around and 70% of their land is beautiful mountains so there are lots of fresh seafood and variety of different fresh vegetables. Korean soils are so nutritious that almost all fruits are much more declious than those in US. For example, if you taste Korean grapes, apples, tangerines, or watermelons, you will never find American fruit tasty😭

South Korea is also much more advanced in utilizing technology into their every day life. If any American thinks US is the best in the world, I recommend you to go to Seoul and taste the life outside US. You will have a different view then.

Koreans are super friendly and kind, especially to foreigners who are lost in the middle of the streets, and they are the most workaholics I've ever seen but also party animals. They love partying and they know how to party. When I say they know how to party, I mean it. They can stay up all night drinking, singing, and partying, and can go to work on time the next day lol. I dont know what kind of drugs they eat but they DO have staminas when they party. Koreans look a bit serious or cold at first but once you become their friends, they will take care of you from head to toe. They are one of the most warmhearted, kind people I've ever met. Koreans are smart, well-educated, diligent, and hard working people. On a side note, no one is fat in Korea. I was probably the fattest girl walking on the street, which was a little bit depressing😅😂 but yeah Koreans seem to take very good care of their looks and fashions in general.

I miss Korea and my life in Seoul so much. Seoul has souls. As soon as Covid 19 is resolved, I will definitely visit Seoul.
