Seoul: Serviced Apartments Seoul South Korea's capital and an East Asian epicenter of culture and finance, Seoul is a seductive blend of the ancient and digital worlds - from placid Buddhist temples to an experimental youth culture to rival Japan's! One of the must-sees is the glorious Gyeongbok Palace, South Korea's former nexus of power, which offers fantastic tours exposing life at court, royal customs and Korean architecture. If you are a little more down-to-earth but appreciate the traditional nonetheless, head over to Bukchon village for a taste of old-style Korean wooden homes or 'hanok'. For shoppers South Korea's Harrods, the Shinsegae Department Store, offers a feast for the eyes, as well as a shock to the wallet, which may leave you longing for the peace and tranquility of Bugaksan a tremendous forested mountain offering stunning views of the capital or Cheonggyecheon Stream a meditative, 5.8km long water feature adjacent to Seoul's busiest boulevards. Whatever your interests, Seoul won't fail to speak directly to your soul.
