Seoul Tours
The capital of the Republic of Korea appeared on the map at the end of the 14th century. Today, more than 10 million people live here, and tours to Seoul are gaining popularity among Russian travelers every year. The reason for this is the desire to taste oriental exoticism, the amazing nature of Korea, and the high level of technical achievements of the country, about which so little is known both in the western and eastern hemispheres..
History with geography
Until the XIV century, the ancient city of Vireson was located on this site, which was a fortress on the banks of the Hangang River. Since then, the Namdaemun fortress gate has been preserved, carefully restored after a recent fire. Tours to Seoul allow you to see the amazing scenery around the Korean capital. The city is surrounded by mountains and their majestic silhouettes are the hallmark of modern Seoul..
Briefly about the important
- International flights to Seoul are received by the new Incheon Airport, which is connected to the city by a high-speed highway. Trains from the airport also arrive at the central railway station of the Korean capital.
- The easiest way to get around the city on a Seoul tour is by subway. Seoul Subway is a nine-line subway that connects almost all areas of the city. A convenient way for a traveler is the method of numbering all subway stations, and therefore, naming a number, it is easier to make an appointment, for example.
- The climate in the capital of the Republic of Korea is considered monsoon. This results in a distinct rainy season starting in May. It lasts until September, and during these months the amount of precipitation in the city is maximum..
- When planning tours to Seoul for the summer, you will have to be prepared for a fairly hot weather. Thermometer columns reach +30, which, combined with high humidity, can negatively affect the well-being of the traveler. The absence of mountains in the north allows cold winds to penetrate in winter, and therefore thermometers often record temperatures down to -15.
- A popular entertainment destination for both locals and tour participants in Seoul is Lotte World, located in Sonphagu District.
- For fans of summer outdoor recreation in Seoul, we recommend Hangang Park, which stretches along the banks of the river for several kilometers. Here you can take a river tram ride, taste the best Korean food in street cafes, rent a bicycle or listen to a folk music concert in open areas..
