Visiting Seoul is like having your first bite of kimchi, the ubiquitous Korean side dish of pickled vegetables. Just as its flavors burst in the mouth, South Korea’s capital jolts visitors out of their reverie, with surprises every few blocks. Clinging to its rich past while looking towards the future, Seoul is a city of contrasts that blend together perfectly. Sample great street food and explore ancient temples with your family, or party and shop the night away in hip neighborhoods.
Away from the spotlight, Korean cuisine is a well-kept secret waiting to be discovered. Rice is the mainstay of Korean food and is usually served with meat, seafood, vegetables, and a variety of side dishes. A visit to Seoul is incomplete without trying the local favorite, Korean barbeque. Have your choice of meat, vegetables, and sauces grilled right in front of you, on grills embedded into the table that you are seated around. If you are on the move and don’t have time for a sit-down meal, food stalls around the city offer some fabulous food at great prices.
Seafood is also an integral part of South Korea’s rich culinary scene and there’s no better place to experience this than the Noryangjin fishery market. Located close to Seoul Station, it is Korea’s largest and oldest seafood market and is bustling through the day. To see it at its liveliest best, get there in the wee hours of the morning when fish auctions are held. At other times of day take your pick of fresh seafood and head to a nearby restaurant and have it cooked right there.
