You'll find all manner of awesome attractions virtually on the doorstep of your Seoul holiday rental. Get your bearings in thrilling style with a trip up to the observation deck atop the N Seoul Tower. Perched on a natural peak and soaring to a height of 236 metres, it offers unobstructed views of the entire city and the majestic surrounding mountains. For a day of thrilling family fun, head to Everland. Located around 22 miles south of central Seoul, it's South Korea's answer to Disneyland, with nerve-shredding thrill rides, colourful child-friendly attractions and a beautifully maintained zoo. For an enthralling, but altogether more sobering experience, head north of the city to the Demilitarized Zone, where you can learn all about the precarious state of relations between North and South Korea.
If you're in the market for city-break staples like shopping and gallery-hopping, Seoul is sure to delight. But if you'd like to return home with useful new skills, you could enrol on a cooking course, and learn how to make authentic kimchi, melt-in-the-mouth bulgogi and lip-smacking Korean barbecue from scratch. Should you wish to explore your creative side even further, the National Museum of Korea and other institutions offer English-language classes in traditional local crafts like pottery, metal art and seal-making. If you fancy yourself as more of an athlete than an artisan, you could try a taster class in taekwondo, South Korea's graceful national sport.
Seoul holiday rentals are in particularly high demand during the peak summer travel months of June to August. However, this also constitutes the city's monsoon season, with intense humidity and heavy downpours. If your travel dates are flexible, you may prefer to visit in the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn, when temperatures are more pleasant and rainfall is significantly lower. Winters are positively chilly, with regular snowfall turning the surrounding mountains into vibrant ski resorts.
Seoul may be synonymous with urban sprawl, but nearby mountains offer blissful respite from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Mount Bukhan is easily accessible by public transport, and you can comfortably reach its summit in a few hours, as long as you're in reasonable physical shape. You'll walk through fragrant forests and past secluded temples, and be rewarded with breathtaking views of jagged granite peaks and the city you left behind.
Fly into Seoul (GMP-Gimpo Intl.), the closest airport, located 9.8 mi (15.8 km) from the city centre. If you're unable to find a flight that fits your schedule, you can also fly into Seoul (ICN-Incheon Intl.), which is 30.2 mi (48.7 km) away.
It's easy to get around Seoul by catching a ride on the metro at Euljiro 1-ga Station, Jonggak Station or City Hall Station.
