The Han River

Shrines, temples, palaces, museums... Seoul has a rich cultural heritage that can be seen in its original setting or on exhibition in one of the many museums. An absoulte must are the historical sites of the Mongchon Toseong and the Achasanseong Fortress. Besides the impresiive construction, one can visit the neighbouring places and the well-preserved gardens, constructed a long time ago.

Built in 1392 by King Taejo, but in its long history damaged and rebuilt quite often. The present structure dates back to the end of the 19-th century. The walled grounds contains some very beautiful pagodas that were brought from all over the country (mostly during the Japanese occupation).
