Seoul: More than a Metropolis

A very close friend of mine, Tom, recently paid a visit to our house after spending a great vacation time at the South Korean capital city, Seoul. While sharing his experience I learnt that the city was now a great place for family vacation. Several domestic and international tourists travel through different airways to Seoul to spend a quality time at the South Korean metropolis. While dining Tom took few names of the local attractions that fascinated him the most.

Tom told that his visit to the Gyeongbokgung Palace was the most remarkable one. The royal palace was the main and the largest palace among the five grand palaces in the city built by the Joseon Dynasty. Although the palace was destroyed by the Japanese in the early 20th century, 40 percent of the palace has been reconstructed and opened for the public view. You may travel through business class flights to Seoul and take a tour of all the five majestic palaces.

Cheongwadae or The Blue House is the city’s White House. The executive office and official residence of the President of the Republic of Korea, Cheongwadae, has several official buildings that include Presidential Office, audience room, conference room, and official Presidential residence. Visitors traveling through air line flights to Seoul just do not stop admiring the magnificent building that commands the entire country.

Han River Park, which was constructed with an aim of restoring the Han River, is one of the remarkable sites that serve as a great place to enjoy with your family. Located at the Han River, the park offers variety of water sports such as water-skiing, yachting and boating, fishing spots, and similar other water activities to the visitors. The park also serves as a playing ground for home visitors who travel through cheap domestic flights to Seoul.

Tom got quite excited while he described about his visit to the Namsan Park. Established in 1984, the Namsan Park is one of the city’s largest green spaces. Home to approximately 600 plant and animal species, the Park also consists of N Seoul Tower, which is the symbol of Seoul. Tom told that the cable ride at the park was simply awesome and gave a panoramic view of the city. Travelers can enjoy all this through airline discounts offered on business flights and other coach class air flights to Seoul.

Bukhansan Mountain National Park was another name that Tom mentioned while having his coffee. The park offers activities such as hiking, rock climbing and many similar others to all the tourists. The park is a store house of abundant fauna and flora and is often visited by the researchers from the world over. Although what Tom shared is a gist of Seoul, the best way to discover the metropolis is by booking air business class travel to Seoul and experiencing the aura in person.
