Title: Seoul Highlights
Date: Nov 4th 2018
Presenter: Trevor Cochrane

The starting point for any visit to South Korea- Seoul is a truly incredible city, with attractions ranging from modern to traditional.

• The spaceship like Dongdaemun Design Plaza is a creative hub in the heart of one of Seoul’s most popular districts. The ultra-modern building will take at least half a day to explore, so make sure to get there early.
• If you are at all interested in fashion, Seoul is the place to be. The area surrounding the Design Plaza plays host to all of the latest fashions, and the city is also the home of some of the best cosmetic and skin care brands in the world,  with Koreas obsession for healthy, younger looking skin.
• Traditional Korean architecture makes up a huge part of Seoul’s feel. There are 5 historic palaces surrounding the city, and you can still find the city’s original walls, along with 6 of the original 8 gates which were closed each night to protect the residents of the city.
• In the heart of the city, you’ll be able to find the Gwangjang markets, the home to a huge variety of fresh food. If you’re looking for some authentic Seoul cuisine, you absolutely cannot miss this place.
