This dynamic megacity traces its roots back to the days when it was a royal center for the five-century-long Joseon dynasty. In the 20th century, Seoul emerged as a world capital, catapulted by the country's explosive economic growth following the Korean War. Now a 24-hour metropolis, Seoul has become famous for its futuristic architecture, K-Pop (Korean pop music), and culinary traditions. Discover the secrets of Seoul with Context's private and semi-private guided tours.
