Seoul - A Travelers Delight

Seoul is a city where tradition and modernity meet. Antique palaces
sit beside luxurious skyscrapers. Bustling traditional markets exist just
minutes from elegant department stores selling designer brands. It is a city
surrounded by magnificent mountains and beautiful streams, where the
citizens live in balance with nature, cherish traditions, admire the arts, love
their freedom, and respect each other. This is also the city that gave birth
to K-pop and K-beauty trends that have captivated the world.
Experience Seouls energy and spirit of adventure!

Area
Yongsan
& Yeouido
Highlights
Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art This museum attracts visitors with its world-class collections and special exhibitions, but the
museums buildings, designed by world-famous architects Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel, and Rem
Koolhaas, are nothing short of impressive works of art in themselves. (p.52)
Gyeongnidan-gil If you need to take a break from the bustle of Itaewon, Gyeongnidan-gil is just
for you. This is a street lined with small restaurants that boast chefs from other countries and
internationally trained Korean chefs. (p.53)

with this versatile cultural center housing an aquarium and the observatory called Sky Art. (p.54)
What to do
Itaewon / Yeouido
Itaewon
Itaewon is like a small world within Seoul, a microcosm of the entire world. Here you can see everything from
an Islamic mosque to exotic dishes whose names you may never have heard of. Take the opportunity to see
unique souvenirs from around the world at Itaewon Market and Antique Street.
Itaewon Station (Subway Line 6 )
Yeouido
Yeouido is a global financial hub in Gangnam with many landmark buildings including the National Assembly
Building, 63 Square, IFC Mall, and many more. But the true gem of Yeouido is the Hangang River, not the
cluster of buildings. When taking a ferry cruise and sailing on the river, you can view the bridges on the
Hangang River that have undergone many changes over the course of Korean history, and other major
tourist attractions in Seoul such as the beautiful ecological islet Bamseom.
National Assembly Station / Yeouido Station (Subway Line 9 ), Yeouido Station, Yeouinaru Station (Subway Line 5 )

buffet, and many other forms of entertainment. (p.54)
Hangang Yeouido Spring Flower Festival Yunjung-ro in Yeouido turns into a street full of cherry
blossoms for about two weeks beginning in mid-April each year. You will not want to miss the
spectacular scene created by the cherry blossom petals that rain down on you with the spring
breeze. (p.55)
Local Tips
A unique atmosphere, from fashion and foods to music and culture, is in full bloom on the main street of Itaewon, also
