The South Korean capital of Seoul is one of Asia's most absorbing cities, its food, shopping, shows and sights roping in visitors from far and wide. Here one can simultaneously enjoy Asia's past and future: look one way and you'll see mountains, temple eaves and 14th-century palaces from the heyday of the Joseon Kingdom, look the other and you'll see skyscrapers drenched in a blaze of neon. "Time Out Seoul" charts the dizzying progress of a city that refuses to stand still. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts in Korean cultures both modern and contemporary, this guide will take you through Seoul's stand-out sights and beyond, giving readers an unrivalled understanding of the city, as well as comprehensive listings of its very best places to stay, eat, drink and be entertained.
