Seoul is an ideal place to visit if you want to really get to the heart of Korean culture, in all its strange exoticness! Shops, culture, food, things to see and do: you're bound to find something you'll enjoy during your visit! 

Seoul off the beaten track

South Korea is fascinating when it comes to cookery: each day after work, Koreans meet up amongst friends in restaurants or street stands to talk and relish low-priced dishes.

Discovering the country's gastronomy

One of the largest cities of Korea, situated in a basin surrounded by mountains.

Welcome to the Land of the Calm Morning. The first time you wake up, the meaning of this expression becomes clear. South Korea, a small Pacific country, is among the destinations that has managed to grow while keeping all its traditions. In this Far East country, religion and worship are everywhere. During your trip to South Korea, you’ll find yourself in the middle of some incredible scenery, standing in awe of the most beautiful Buddhist temples. Designed to blend in with the surrounding nature, these places of worship, adorned with very precise colourful patterns, will immerse you in a world filled with peace and serenity. And when you leave the temples and gardens for a few moments, you discover a view that’s just as breathtaking: between the sea and the mountains, grey rock and lush green trees, the diversity of Korean nature has untold beauty. When you visit the area of Seoul, there’s a lot to do: the shopping districts of Insadong and Apgujeong, the Folk Village, Hwaseong Fortress, there’s so much wealth to discover in a region that is home to nearly one if four Koreans today.

Seoul is multi-faceted and has something for all visitors! One of the best neighbourhoods to tour is Myeongdong, the town centre that's famous for paved streets lined with shops. It's Heaven on Earth! During the evening the shops remain open and street stalls sell delicious, cheap food. 
 History lovers should head to the neighbourhood of Buckchon. If you get off the metro at Anguk, you'll find yourself in a district full of 'hanoks', the traditional Korean houses. Today, many of them are guest houses, which makes for a great Korean-style stay. A must-do during a trip to South Korea! This part of town is also home to the Royal Palace. 
In addition to these two neighbourhoods, it must be said that all of Seoul is worth a visit! Itaewon is the ideal place to party, as it's a melting pot with numerous bars. Gangnam is also worth a tour - a wealthy business district with mind blowing shopping centres and the most beautiful hotels in the city. 
Finally, I loved the cable car that takes you up Namsam hill, where you'll get a fantastic view of the city. It's even more impressive at night!

Amongst the things not to miss in the city, you have to visit at least one of the imperial palaces. In Gyeongbokgung, the main old palace, you can see the changing of the guard every hour. Between times, the guards come under attack from tourists armed with selfie sticks.The Changdeokgung Palace is equally impressive.
The temple of Jogyesa, close by to the palace, is particularly beautiful when the anniversary of the Buddha draws near, when it is decorated with hundreds of lanterns.
Then, to discover traditional Korean houses, the hanoks, I headed towards the Bukchon quartier and I got a map at the information centre, so as to discover the different itineraries of the local area. 
To go through the traditional market, head towards Yangyeongsi. The shops selling medicinal herbs are very numerous, a window into the inside of the train station will give you an idea of all that can be found.
If you prefer shops, go into the Gangnam quartier, shopping paradise and plastic surgery. 
In the evening, I advise you to walk to Cheong-gye-cheon. It's an artificial water course in the middle of which there are illuminated art pieces, but also pedestrian bridges.... 
If you want to see Seoul from on high, the N Seoul Tower, on the summit of mount Namsan, will suit you perfectly. It's accessible by foot (a good half an hours walk with a lot of stairs) and also by bus. The place is known as the meeting point of lovers, they sell padlocks, photos and other goodies.

Seoul, capital of Korea, is a city where you can spend several full and varied days.

I studied Korean TOPIK at edm korean global campus.
If you take the Topic 2 writing class now, you can take the class that includes Topic 2 reading + listening for free. They also give books for free.
In the writing class, the teacher made corrections every class, so I was able to understand the structure of Korean people's writing. The composition and expression of writing is slightly different in each country, but you don't know this unless someone explains it to you.
so I revised it little by little and now I think I know how to write it in Korean.
Best of all, I can take mock tests so I can check my skills.
I leave a review because if I write a review, I can take one more week of classes.
I recommend this class because I liked it so much that I wanted to take more classes.
