Destinations
Of the Month

Seoul is the capital of South Korea and located on the
northwest corner of South Korea. The central area of Korea
is the most important for both sightseeing and
accommodation. Overshadowed by high-rises and 12-lane
freeways, it retains a hidden history of centuries-old
temples, palaces, pagodas and pleasure gardens.
Tourists and shoppers are well at home in Itaewon, south
of Mt.Namsan. The Han River winds through the city,
splitting it in two. The Gangnam-gu area on the south bank
is Seoul's most exclusive neighborhood, but on the whole,
the southern areas have less interest to the traveler than
the historic northern neighborhoods.
Despite being home to 10 million residents, Seoul is a
safe and friendly city with a low crime rate. Seoulites
work long hours but also enjoy socializing and are
generally more than kind to foreign visitors.
