Seúl
Seoul, the capital of South Korea, lies in the central-western part of the Korean Peninsula, close to the demilitarised zone. It is the country's largest city, home to half of Korea's 50 million inhabitants. Seoul attracts visitors with a rich history whose beginnings reach back to 18 BC. Landmarks here include Gyeongbokgung Palace and the old city gates. A temperate climate with hot summers and freezing winters makes spring and autumn the best time to visit, when the weather is pleasant.
