Seoul, South Korea Travel Diary

Seoul or what I call the New York City of the east.
You can find anything here, from parks to malls, all kinds of eats, historical and cultural sites and monuments but the best part is how progressive and advanced the city is.
Below you will find my ultimate travel guide to Seoul with some recommendations of what to do, eat and see there. if you have the opportunity to travel during the month of April, you will win the jackpot since everything is filled with the famous cherry blossom bloom and you have the famous Cherry Blossom Festival. I traveled in July and it was still beautiful and all green.

 Lotte World Mall
If you're looking for a place to shop, this is it! Lotte World Shopping Mall contains all your heart desires: markets, Bookstore, fashion area and a whole floor for children with playgrounds and shops.
you can easily spend the day here but I would save it for a rainy day since there is so much to see outside.
Gyeongbokgung Palace 
A beautiful and the largest of all five palaces that you have in Korea.
Tip: Visitors can dress up in traditional Korean clothes, available in the boot at the entrance.

Craving for some Mexican food - great restaurant in the middle of Itaewon called Tacos
