Seoul is a city where centuries of history meet one of the world's most dynamic contemporary cultures. SEOUL: A Cultural Travel Guide offers a different way to explore it—not through a checklist of landmarks, but through the people who shape its cultural landscape.
Featuring 18 leading figures from Korea's cultural scene—including architect Choi Wook, fashion designer Woo Youngmi, musician Jang Younggyu, photographer Koo Bohnchang, graphic designer Ahn Sangsoo, and chef Yim Jungsik—the guide introduces Seoul through the perspectives of those who live, create, and define the city. Their recommendations lead readers to cultural institutions, neighborhood restaurants, independent shops, natural retreats, and other places that reveal Seoul's everyday rhythms and creative spirit.
Alongside practical information on climate, transportation, language, and Korean history, the book also includes introductions to Korean cuisine and useful Korean expressions, making it both an inspiring cultural companion and a practical travel guide.
More than a guidebook, SEOUL: A Cultural Travel Guide invites readers to experience Seoul not simply as a tourist destination, but as a living cultural landscape shaped by the people who create, inhabit, and continually redefine it.
