Seoul is the capital of South Korea and is located in the northwestern part of the country near the border to North Korea. With more than ten million inhabitants it is the largest South Korean city. The entire city boasts an eclectic mix of tradition and modernity and a very special flair. Seoul has numerous sights and attractions. Visitors should not miss out on the Korean National Museum. The multiple temples and palaces provide insight into the long, turbulent history of the city, such as Changdeokgung Palace, for example, that is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage. One of the most popular places to chill is the “Secret Garden” directly behind the Palace. The Jogyesa Temple and the Namhansanseong mountain fortress at the gates of Seoul are also worth seeing.
