Luxury Holidays to Seoul

Seoul, the dynamic capital city of South Korea, is brimming with attractions and activities.

Seoul beautifully blends historic palaces and traditional architecture with modern skyscrapers, bustling markets, gigantic malls, and a plethora of dining options.

History and heritage enthusiasts will enjoy visiting its five grand Joseon-era palaces, amongst which Gyeongbokgung Palace stands out as the largest with nearly 300 meticulously restored buildings offering a glimpse into Korea’s royal past.

Seoul’s busy markets, such as Gwangjang Market, are treasure troves of arts, craftworks, fabrics and food, whilst districts such as Myeongdong and Gangnam are famed for their fashion and Korean beauty product offerings. Away from the bustle, the city offers tranquil escapes such as the Seoul Forest and the charming alleys of Insadong, lined with shops selling handcrafted artisanal goods.

For a deeper understanding of Korea’s military history, the War Memorial of Korea is a must-visit. As evening falls, N Seoul Tower provides breathtaking sunset views and a gateway to the city’s vibrant nightlife.

Day trips from Seoul are equally enticing, with the DMZ, the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea, located just an hour away from the city.
