Seoul

Seoul is a rambling, crowded, and exciting metropolis. After centuries as the capital, it has become the center of Korean politics, business and art, making Seoul a traveler\'s paradise.

Seoul is bordered by eight mountains and the level plains of the Han River, so when you get fed up with the cities congestion, you\'ll be glad to know nature in\'t too far away.
