The city hall area is the undisputable heart of Seoul where you can see either a wide stretch of green grass, or modern skyscrapers standing in harmony with palaces that are hundreds of years old. Of all tourist magnets in the area, where the past blends with the present in harmony, Deoksugung Palace has particular signicance as the background of Koreas modern and contemporary history. Deoksugung is the only palace among the ve ancient palaces in Seoul that shows a modern architectural style. It attracts tourists with the majestic sight of Seokjojeon, which is Koreas first modern stone building, and Jeonggwanheon (Pavilion), where King Gojong, the 26th king of the Joseon Period, is reported to have enjoyed his coffee. After touring the Deoksugung area, take a walk along the Doldam-gil that takes you to the Seoul Museum of Art. This road is often called the most beautiful walking path in Seoul with the ginkgo trees lining both sides. The city hall area is within ten minutes of other popular tourist attractions, such as Myeong-dong and Namdaemun Market, which is a six hundred year old market where you can enjoy bargaining with merchants. Myeong-dong, on the other hand, is the modern shopping district where you can nd top-quality cosmetics. When the sun goes down, it is time to enjoy the lights that illuminate the nightlife of Seoul. The best place to have the entire night scene of Seoul in a single, sweeping vista is N Seoul Tower in Namsan (mountain). Go up to the observatory at N Seoul Tower, and watch the city of Seoul sparkling in the darkness of the night. This will surely be one of the most special moments in your visit to Seoul.

What to do
Namsangol Hanok Village Visitors to Namsangol Hanok Village can experience diverse Korean traditions such hanbok (traditional outt) and tea ceremony. (p.11) The N Seoul Tower Roof Terrace Originally built as a wooden deck for an aerial view of the city, the Roof Terrace is now more popular as a place where visitors hang their locks of love on the fence. You may want to leave your own lock with your loved ones name on it and let it be part of the endless parade of memories. (p.13) Namdaemun Market Mokjagolmok Visit the so-called Mokjagolmok (Eatery Alley) and indulge in popular street food such as braised cutlass fish, Kalguksu, and Hotteok, to name just a few. (p.13)

Local Tips
Use the Seoul City Tour Bus for convenient transportation to Deoksugung Palace, Myeong-dong, Namdaemun Market, and Seoul Station. A recommended place to visit along with the Seoul Museum of History, Gyeonghuigung Palace was once a palace massive enough to house a hundred structures within its facility during the Joseon Period. Some of the structures and the leafy woods behind the palace are in high demand as a location for lming historic movies.

Travel 600 years back through time to ancient palaces and structures, such as: Gyeongbokgung Palace where the 500 year history of Joseon Dynasty began; Jongmyo where you can watch traditional Confucius rituals; and Changdeokgung Palace, which is loved by everybody for its beautiful landscape. All these ancient scenes that breathe Korean history are waiting for visitors at the center of the city. Gwanghwamun, whose literal meaning is a gate from which humane politics reach out in all directions, is fronted by Sejongdaero, the widest road in Korea that is 100 meters wide and 600 meters long. On Gwanghwamun Square, you can nd the statue of King Sejong the Great, who invented the Korean writing system Hangeul, and farther down from there, the statue of the great admiral Yi Sun-shin, who protected Joseon from the offshore invaders. To the side you can find Sejongno Park where a total of 11,172 permutations of the Korean alphabet are compiled into a public artwork, testifying to the greatness of Hangeul. At Insa-dong and Samcheong-dong, you will see alleys and streets lined with arts and crafts workshops, galleries, and tea houses, the majority of which have been remodeled from traditional hanok structures. However, over 900 hanok houses still remain in their original shapes at Bukchon Hanok village, reminiscent of the past days of the city. Now, move forward on your journey from the past to the present, and head to Cheonggyecheon (Stream), a recently reconstructed ecology stream. Originally a popular spot either for doing laundry or just playing around, it has now become a popular hang-out among Seoul citizens. Take a break from your busy itinerary, and listen to the stories associated with the 22 bridges built over the stream, which ows 10.84km from Gwanghwamun Gate to Dongdaemun under these historic structures and into present day Seoul.

What to do
Jogyesa Temple Stay Experience the life of a Buddhist monk at Jogyesa where you can participate in meditation, lotus lantern making and an alms bowl meal. (p.21) Bukchon Eight Views Stroll through the Bukchon Hanok Village and explore Bukchons eight beautiful vistas. This is where you can also have an aerial view of Changdeokgung Palace, a palace designated as part of UNESCO World Heritage. (p.23) Tongin Market Tongin Market is less than ten minutes from Gyeongbokgung Palace. The market is famous for oil fried Tteokbokki, lunchbox cafe and other simple dishes. You may buy some food for a snack, hop on a bus to go to the Suseong-dong, and enjoy your food while taking a walk in the valley.

Local Tips
Remember to visit Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung when the two palaces are open to the public at night in spring and autumn. This night tour of the palaces requires an advanced reservation. Insa-dong is usually a heavy-traffic area but it is vehicle-free on weekends. If you want a stress-free tour of the area, a weekend is the best time to visit.

The downtown area near Heunginjimun (one of the four great gates in Seoul, also called Dongdaemun) were just busy streets during the Joseon Period, but today, they have turned into a hub of fashion that attracts crowds of shoppers from everywhere to numerous retail and wholesale businesses. This area was also the second in Asia to welcome streetcars (1899), and the rst to host a movie theater. Now, the Dongdaemun area reaches beyond Seoul and sets fashion trends for the world. In 2014, Dongdaemun area was reborn with Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), a new addition designed by the world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid. The glistening exterior of DDP is made of 45,133 aluminum panels, none of which are the same. This hardto-believe facility and the nearby Dongdaemun History & Culture Park attract crowds of visitors every day, testifying to the vibrant past and the future of Dongdaemun area. The Gwanghui-dong area where the market is located is also known as the Silk Road of Seoul because the area is a magnet for merchants from nearby countries such as Russia, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia. Visitors are sure to nd traces of Dongdaemun areas past and present in many corners of the area, a few of which include the mural that you will see while walking along Cheonggyecheon (Stream), a mural that describes how a cloth item is completed in three days and how the fashion town Dongdaemun area is a place that never sleeps. If time allows, stroll along the walking trail of Seoul City Wall, a fortress wall that connects all four major ancient gates of the city. The walking trail begins at Heunginjimun Gate and proceeds to Naksan Park and Hyehwamun Gate. This is the best place to see traces of the ancient city fortress, and to have an aerial view of todays Seoul city. When you arrive at Naksan Park, you will see Daehangno and the streets of arts that are lined with over 90 small theaters and galleries. Your journey to Dongdaemun area is complete when you visit and take pictures of Ihwa Maeul that has recently been reborn as a mural town, and meet some of the young street artists at Marronnier Park.

What to do
Street Performances at Marronnier Park Nicknamed the Montmartre of Seoul, Marronnier Park is where you can enjoy street performances by young artists, including street painters who offer portrait painting services. (p.29) Night Scene of Heunginjimun Gate As night falls, you can watch how Heunginjimun becomes the central figure of a beautiful night scene along with the brilliant neon lights from the nearby shopping town. Taking a keepsake photo after a full day of shopping is a must. (p.27) Gwangjang Market Mokjagolmok One of the most popular street foods in this food court alley is Addictive Gimbap that is served and enjoyed with a spicy mustard dipping sauce. Other popular dishes include Bindaetteok and Yukhoe, a shredded seasoned raw beef dish.

Local Tips
Seoul City Wall Walking Trail begins at Dongdaemun, goes past Hyehwamun Gate, and takes you to Seongbuk-dong, where you can visit Gilsangsa, a temple in the midst of a busy city neighborhood, or Suyeonsanbang, a traditional Korean tea house. Dongdaemun History & Culture Park has historic relics associated with Seoul City Wall, all of which were excavated from the ancient site at Dongdaemun Stadium.

Hongdae & Sangsu Station Area Sinchon & Ewha Womans Univ. Station Area

Digital Media City

The area near Sinchon that houses Yonsei Univ. and Ewha Womans Univ. is the most widely known college town in the city. The Gothic-style campus of Yonsei Univ. has been a popular location for many Korean Wave movies and dramas with its ivy vines climbing the campus buildings and trees that change through the seasons. Sinchon and the area surrounding Ewha Womans Univ. is just the spot to visit if you are traveling on a budget, and on a quest to nd affordably priced restaurants and shops. The streets that face Ewha Womans Univ. in particular have been such a shopping haven that during the 1990s, the area was setting the trends in Seoul and gave birth to the term Ewha Style long before Gangnam Style came about. While the Ewha Univ. and Sinchon area represent the campus life of Seoul, the area near Hongik Univ.often called the Hongdae area is famous as the hub of indie art culture. This is the place where entire streets transform into a stage for a megascale festival at night with dances, music, and young clubbers, surrounded by free-spirited murals, young designers flagship shops, and cafes. Clubs in the Hongdae area are so famous among international tourists that the New York Times once picked the area as one of the Ten Must-Dos in Seoul. Recently, the culture of the area has been expanding to reach as far as Sangsudong cafe street transforming itself all over again as the streets of youth that embrace diversity.

What to do
Hongdae Free Market Dont miss the flea markets offered by young artists at Hongik Childrens Park each Saturday and surround yourself with their free spirit and sensibility. (p.33) Sinchon Streets for Foodies The Sinchon and Ewha Womans Univ. area is famous for its streets of food vendors and stalls. Particularly popular among international tourists is Dak Galbi (Spicy Chicken), which is chicken seasoned with a spicy sauce and stir-fried in an iron pan. (p.35) Trickeye Museum Located at the entrance to Hongdae Univ., this museum is where you can see what happens when you trick the eye. Also included in the same facility is the Ice Museum where you can personally carve an ice sculpture. (p.33)

Local Tips
Take a bus or subway from Hongik Univ. to visit Sunyudo Park and World Cup Park in Sangam-dong. It takes only about ten minutes walking from Hongdae Univ. Station to to Yeonnam-dong, which is a haven for Chinese-Korean dishes prepared by Chinese-Korean chefs. You can enjoy native Chinese dishes as well, such as beef noodle soup and lamb kebab.

Itaewon itself is like a small world within Seoul, a microcosm of the entire world. In this urban center, you can see everything from the exotic atmosphere of an Islamic temple to exotic cuisines the names of which you may never have heard. This is also where you can nd uniquely designed boutique hotels and galleries with global reputations. You may not want to miss the opportunity to see the unique souvenirs that came from countries around the world at Itaewon Market and Antique Street. While Itaewon is the global district in Gangbuk region, Yeouido, an island that faces it across from Hangang, is the district of global finance in Gangnam region. Yeouido was nothing more than a sandy island about a hundred years ago, but the area began to attract attention when Koreas first airport opened for business in 1916. Today, it is home to many landmarks of Seoul, such as the National Assembly building, 63 Building and IFC Mall, but the true gem of Yeouido is Hangang (river). Take a ferry cruise and sail on the river to view the bridges of Hangang that underwent many changes over the course of Korean history, and other major tourist attractions of Seoul such as the beautiful ecology island, Bamseom (Islet). During the Joseon Period, ferryboats were the major means of transportation. So it was from the piers by the river Hangang that Seoul culture and civilization spread throughout the nation in days gone by. Today, Hangang is still the iconic foundation upon which the culture of Seoul blooms. In spring and autumn, Hangang Park transforms itself into a stage for various festivals. Other popular attractions along the riverside of Hangang include public swimming pools and water taxies that ferry passengers across the river. Hangang riverside is always the place to be with many leisure and sports activities throughout the four seasons.

What to do
Shopping at Itaewon Market This is a place full of unsung heroes of fashion that only some seasoned shoppers would know. This is where you can find plus-sized clothes that some foreign tourists are looking for. (p.39) Hangang Cruise Take a cruise along the Hangang river to view major riverside attractions and also to enjoy the night scene of Seoul. The themed ferry cruise itinerary offers live performances, a dinner buffet, and many other entertainments. (p.41) Hangang Yeouido Spring Flower Festival Yunjung-no in Yeouido turns into the street of cherry blossoms for about two weeks beginning in midApril 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.41)

Local Tips
Comme des Garons, the newly opened landmark shop in Itaewon, is surrounded by numerous dessert cafes, a few of which include Rose Bakery, Fashion 5, and Take Out Drawing. Just one stop away from Yeouido Station is Nor yangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market that is open 24 hours. Indulge yourself with inexpensive yet ultra-fresh seafood in this wholesale market. You can buy fresh seafood and walk into any of the many restaurants that offer cooking services and have them prepare your purchase.
