Seoul Travel and Things to Do Guide

Consistently ranked as one of the top international conference destinations in the world, Seoul features harmonious blend of ancient tradition and cutting-edge technology, making it an obvious choice for meeting planners. Seoul is also known as a hub of international business and information technology, as well as the home of several of South Korea's prestigious colleges and universities.

Seoul's appeal is broadened by its accessibility, thanks to its two airports, Gimpo International and Incheon International. As the primary gateway to Seoul, Incheon International is one of the busiest airports in the world and one of Northeast Asia's main travel hubs. Seoul also features a government-run bus system, as well as one of the largest subway systems in the world.
