Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

This is the city's largest market. Almost everything is available for sale including clothing, souvenirs, purses, and food supplies. Many stalls are open into the wee hours of the morning.
It's a nice local market, perfect for shopping souvenirs to take home :) Try the dumplings and the ginger tea, those are so good!

Known for bringing customers a fusion experience of shopping and culture, Shinsegae Department Store boasts top international luxury brands, emerging brands, an art gallery, and a beautiful garden.
The good hall is connected to Hyewha underground and is brilliant! Shopping is very high end. Tax free floors are 8-12 (not very well advertised), but we found it overrated with not much bargains. Also they only accept USD in duty free and you need your passport (or photo of it) and flight details to buy.

this is a fantastic place for last minute shopping before leaving for the airport. Free luggage storage. Free boxes to pack your purchases. Lots of free food sampling in the supermarket - try before you buy. Immediate tax refund. Next to train and subway. Huge mall with a great variety of goods. WE spent hours, and only visited the ground level.
