Book Seoul hotels

We’ll skip the puns about heart and Seoul (OK, turns out we needed to get that one out of our system) and just tell you the capital of South Korea is an appealing fusion of fancy palaces and lovely tea rooms. It’s all set against the backdrop of towering skyscrapers, the steel and glass a constant reminder that you are, in fact, in a metropolis.

When you score holiday packages to Seoul from lastminute.com.au, you’ll have the budget to investigate all corners of the city.

Things to Do in Seoul

Attractions in Seoul range from Gyeongbokgung Palace to the N Seoul Tower. The palace was built during the Joseon dynasty, and N Seoul Tower was created to offer epic views of the city and put Seoul’s modern architecture on the map.

If you believe the tower’s website (everything on the internet is true) the N Seoul Tower is also “Where your love comes true”. Bring a date, throw a coin in the observatory’s wishing pond and see where the night takes you.

In the morning, visit the Changdeokgung palace, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site with heaps of character. If you need to get away from the bustle of city energy, Bukhansan National Park offers the respite you seek. Of course, hotels in Seoul are also a good place to put up your feet.

Getting to and Around Seoul

Start your Seoul holiday with a flight to Incheon International Airport (ICN), the largest airport in the country and about 48km from the city centre. You can get to your Seoul accommodation via limo bus, taxi or using the city’s Airport Railroad Express (AREX). Put your bags down, then hop on the metro and get to sightseeing!

What’s the key to a successful holiday? Booking one of the top Seoul hotels on lastminute.com.au—duh! If you fancy a day beneath the cherry blossoms, take a two-hour flight to Japan and book a Kyoto accommodation. You’ll thank us for the tip later, when your Instagram game blows up. #cherryblossoms
