A modern city, built on tradition. Exploring SEoul, South KorEA. Of the more than 250 destinations we fly to, our newest has to be one of the most intriguing. Seoul blends the old with the new to create a unique and vibrant city. From palaces to temples, markets and indie clubs, there is so much to see and do in South Korea’s modern metropolis. Hongdae Area The Hongdae area gets its name from nearby Hongik University, which is known for its prestigious art college. Filled with cafes, clubs, street performers, art galleries and shops, Hongdae is a haven for Seoul’s indie music, art and youth scene. This is the best place to catch an up-and-coming rock band or find the best new nightspot. The last Friday of each month is “Club Day,” when you can purchase a single wristband to get into the several participating clubs for free. “Sound Day,” the musical equivalent of “Club Day,” happens the second Friday of each month. And every Saturday and Sunday, the area holds artist markets where travelers and locals can shop for one-of-a-kind, handmade items. No matter the day, there is always something going on in this popular area. Cookin’ Nanta First performed in 1997, Cookin’ Nanta is one of Korea’s most popular and longest-running musicals. A nonverbal show, the performance is about four chefs who are asked to prepare a wedding banquet in a single hour. Music, audience participation, and elements of drama and comedy all come together to tell an energetic story. A must-see for tourists and locals alike, Cookin’ Nanta is performed in three different theaters around Seoul, making this an easy and worthwhile show to catch. Dapsimni Antique Market The Dapsimni Antique Market is the best place to find a souvenir with a little history. Specializing in antique and vintage items, this market is named after the nearby Dapsimni station. The main market is housed in three buildings called 2-Dong Town, 5-Dong Town and 6-Dong Town. Like any market, prices vary from item to item, but visitors are guaranteed to discover something unique here. Pulmuone Kimchi Museum Made from a combination of fermented vegetables and spices, kimchi is Korea’s national dish. Located inside the COEX mall, the Pulmuone Kimchi Museum covers the history, preparation, varieties and just about everything else that concerns this Korean staple. Naturally, the museum also has a tasting room where visitors can sample different varieties and flavors of kimchi. As a bonus, the COEX mall is an attraction in its own right. Asia’s largest underground shopping center, the mall not only houses the Kimchi Museum, but it also has duty-free shopping, more than 800 restaurants, a 17-screen movie theater and more. The National Folk Museum of Korea Situated in the heart of Seoul, the National Folk Museum of Korea isn’t the average museum. The exhibits focus largely on customs and traditions of the Korean people, not just the history of the nation. An afternoon here will leave visitors with a better picture of everyday Korean life, both in the past and today. And if you are traveling with little ones, there is also a children’s portion of the museum specifically designed to engage the minds of the youngest among us. American’s new daily nonstop service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Seoul, South Korea, begins May 9, 2013.
