Things to do in SeoulSeoul attractions include historic temples and palaces, as well
as some natural and cultural highlights. The preferred seasons for
sightseeing in Seoul are spring and autumn, with comfortable
temperatures and blue skies, but in winter the city is covered in
snow and can be quite beautiful. The Gyeongbokgung Palace, built in 1395, and is home to the
National Folk Museum of Korea, a great Seoul attraction. The
Namsangol Hanok Village is also a good stop, featuring traditional
Korean homes from the Joseon Dynasty. The Bongeunsa, a Buddhist
temple founded in 794 AD, offers a ''Temple Stay Program'' for
visitors. Just out of town, visitors can ride the Namsan Park cable car to
the summit of the mountain to see the maritime aquarium and
botanical gardens. Lotte World is the largest indoor theme park in
the world, one of the most exciting Seoul attractions, while the
1988 Olympic Park and Stadium is another. There are lovely antique
shops and art galleries to be browsed in the Insa-dong
alleyways. |
