To us, the capital of South Korea kiiiind of feels like the capital of the world. Brimming with karaoke bars, fantastic museums and insanely good food, this city is the kind of place you'll never be bored.
One of Seoul’s cultural highlights, the Leeum museum consists of two parts, one of which houses traditional Korean art, the other contemporary art fusing together Korean antiquities with important modern and contemporary art. The architecture by Mario Botta, Jean Nouvel and Rem Koolhaas makes it even more worthwhile.
Seoul has no lack of museums and galleries, but we recommend the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art the most. Take in the beautiful paintings and sculptures as you stroll.
