Palaces and K-pop, street food markets and the ancient royal city of Gyeongju.

Seoul blends royal palaces like Gyeongbokgung and hanok villages with high-tech neighbourhoods, night markets, K-beauty shopping and hiking trails inside the city. By fast train, Gyeongju — the “museum without walls” of the Silla kingdom — makes a relaxing contrast.
