Private jet charter and flights to Seoul
Seoul is a city of extremes. Divided into two halves by the Han River, the once-poor South Korean capital is now an achingly modern metropolis of non-stop consumption where skyscrapers soar to giddying heights, almost 10 million inhabitants swarm the streets and K-pop fandom reaches fever pitch. But behind this hi-tech veneer, you’ll find a city steeped in cultural heritage and rooted in tradition, where ancient palaces and intricate temples hark back to a bygone era of regal prowess.

Seoul boasts an influential art scene and visitors can soak up the locals’ creative spirit, from gallery hopping in Samcheong-dong to listening to live indie rock in Hongdae. The city’s best-known district, Gangnam, is an upscale enclave of designer stores and fancy restaurants – plus some of Asia’s most acclaimed plastic surgeons, who attract medical tourists from around the world. Nicknamed the “Manhattan of Seoul”, the river island of Yeoui-do is home to soaring skyscrapers, the National Assembly and the fun-packed 63 Building with its aquarium, IMAX cinema, sky art gallery and wax museum.
With entire districts devoted to retail therapy, Seoul is a shopper’s paradise with something to suit every type of fashionista, from Myeongdong’s luxury department stores to Garosugil’s vintage boutiques. Songpa is home to Lotte World, a huge mall with the world’s largest indoor amusement park; while Insadong is the place to go for traditional handcrafted souvenirs and artisanal products. Explore the buzzing Dongdaemun and Namdaemun night markets, where the streets come alive after dark with brash neon signs and raucous music, browsing rows of open-air tents selling discounted clothes, accessories and leather goods before tucking into delicious street food.
Located north of the river, Jongno is this contemporary city’s historic heart. Stroll down quaint alleys and admire hundreds of elegant traditional wooden homes called hanok in the hilltop village of Bukchon, which sits between three major landmarks of the Joseon Dynasty: the stunning Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung Palaces and the Jongmyo Shrine, a UNSECO World Heritage Site. The magnificent city wall dates back to the same era, stretching over 18km along several of the surrounding mountains. Hiking is the national pastime, so get stuck in and walk the entire length of this ancient architectural treasure, soaking up breathtaking views along the way.
Seoul’s culinary scene has evolved in recent years to include an exciting range of international cuisines in addition to authentic eateries where you can feast on fragrant and spicy local dishes. From hole-in-the-wall snack bars to swanky restaurants and trendy coffee shops to traditional tea-houses, the city teems with top-notch dining options. The student district of Hongdae is Seoul’s nightlife hub, where revellers can party the night away at the hottest bars and nightclubs – and even an outdoor silent disco. Don’t leave town without experiencing one of the city’s signature karaoke bars or trying late-night disco bowling, complete with glowing balls and pulsating music.
