The Monocle Travel Guide to Seoul

Book excerpt: "The South Korean capital is energetic and sprawling; it's a 24-hour city that's home to some 10 million people and plenty of brightly lit billboards, skyscrapers and shops. But that's not all. Beyond the colourful clutter you'll find innovative building projects, lush green spaces and world-class museums, as well as a tasty spread of places to eat and drink. The Monocle Travel Guide to Seoul looks past the dazzling lights to discover what, and who, have brought this late-blooming city careering into the 21st century."--Back cover
