Seoul is the impressive capital city of South Korea. Although it isn't as popular with backpackers as some Asian cities, it won't disappoint anybody who takes the time to come here. It's rich in culture, hospitality, and energy.

Many of the city's hostels are found in the Hongdae area, which has some of the best nightlife in Seoul. It is a fun area to base yourself, but some parts can get loud at night, so come prepared with earplugs or other sleep tools.
