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.

Superb beef at an unbeatable price! My husband and I bought two trays of 1++ Korean Beef and grilled them at a charcoal grill restaurant above. The beef was soo delicious and at the price we paid, it was well worth every penny! We highly recommend the shop we purchased our beef from, the lady was super nice and helpful!

HongdaeAp Artmarket FREEMARKET has been an art market since 2002.It is a cultural event where you can experience accessories for me, Living props for decorating my space, and creative performances to fatten your taste. From March to November, every Saturday from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Hongik Culture Park.
Artsy place that has its own character and occasional buskers. Nice to walk, shop, eat and chill. I prefer this over the generic Myeongdong. Quite a number of restaurants, cafes and fashion stalls (personal favorites are Another Awesome, Fashionhong and Tomato Library)

Lotte World Tower & Mall offers stores, cafes, restaurants, galleries, and even a concert hall. The Tower is the fifth highest in the world and has an observation deck, a skywalk, and a luxury hotel.
One of the best tallest buildings I have visited. Very, very modern (opened in 2017), beautiful architecture, very high observation deck (478m), including a nice glass floor section, great views to all Seoul.

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!

This place is just a short walk from the Seoul Design Plaza and the Dongdeamun Cultural Park and its shopping district, and also part of the HopOn HopOff bus route. Its a great place to buy dried seafood, fermented goods, Korean delicacies and other dry foodstuffs. The shop owners, mostly elderly Korean ladies are very friendly and would give excellent prices or even samplings. Worth a visit, and its not crowded and opens all day long....

The largest single market in Asia, Dongdaemun Shopping Complex is made up of four buildings that house various shops offering fashion products as well as fabrics and materials at incredible prices.
Wide range of beads, phone accessories and decorations for bags, phones can be found on 5th floor of building A & B. Prices are reasonable and you will be spoilt for choices. Allocate at least 3 to 4 hours here if you are into handicrafts. There's a food court at level 6 serving authentic Korean food at good price and great taste. Dun miss it if you are around that area.
