Seoul, Suwon, Cheonan and Mokpo

Mountains circle Seoul on all sides with Namsan (South Mountain) springing up in the center. Although the Han River once marked the southern boundary, the city has sprawled across to the southern side with some 2 dozen bridges crossing it and one subway tunnel underneath. As Korea's capital and most populous city, Seoul represents the country's center for business, education, and modern culture. Seoul’s many attractions and excellent transport links make it the country's number one destination for foreign visitors. Explore temples, castles and life in Korea's towns.
