Seoul is the historic, cutting edge, fast-paced capital city of South Korea, comprised of 25 districts. Split by the Han River, Gangnam (literally meaning ‘south of the river’) is full of skyscrapers and start-ups, while, to the north, downtown Seoul is dotted with traditional palaces and fortress walls, parts of which date back to the early Joseon Dynasty of the 14th century.

This guide will provide you with recommendations to fill your week in Seoul with art, life, food, culture and history.
