Was there ever any doubt that we’d recommend Seoul given that it’s the national capital and one of the most popular places to visit in South Korea? This immense metropolis is loaded with attractions to see and things to experience, which explains why most visitors to the country will spend at least a little time here. In terms of sights to see, you’re spoiled for choice, from cultural landmarks like the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace to the fascinating Bukchon Hanok Village. But those visiting Korea may be surprised that Seoul even has a national park, Bukhansan National Park, where travelers can go hiking and take in panoramic views of the city.
