SEOUL

ESCAPES TO SEOUL — WHERE ULTRA-MODERN LIFE AND OLD TRADITION MOVE IN PARALLEL

Seoul is one of those cities where the future and the past don’t replace each other — they run side by side. LED billboards, glass towers and 24-hour districts operate just a short walk from palaces with wooden gates and quiet temple courtyards. The city moves fast, but its traditions are still breathing underneath the speed.

If you like cities with contrast rather than compromise, Seoul is an unforgettable starting point in Korea.

The rhythm of Seoul reveals itself in layers:
– Hanbok-clad visitors walking past royal palace walls
– High-tech metros delivering silence while moving millions
– Street food alleys burning with grills beside polished designer stores
– Hanok villages tucked between modern districts
– Late-night cafés and markets that make the city feel awake at all hours

And as soon as you leave the capital, Korea changes character again — coastal towns, Buddhist mountain temples, ski resorts, cherry blossom valleys and island ferries. But beginning in Seoul gives you the country’s pulse: discipline, speed, design, and deep heritage living without nostalgia.

It’s easy to see why travellers come expecting a “big Asian city” and leave talking about the balance they found instead.
