Seoul’s curious mix of techy glitz and traditional Buddhist architecture means it hums with a uniquely frenetic energy. High-speed trains straight out of a sci-fi flick beetle past futuristic skyscrapers and ornate palaces, rooftop parks sit atop convention halls, and legions of food carts lining the streets ensure you’re only ever a few minutes away from tucking into something fried and sticky. It’s eclectic, fast-paced and fun, and booking a Seoul Airbnb is the easiest way to slip into life the way the locals do. Your best bet is choosing one of the glut of traditional hanoks dotted throughout the city. Our favourites have bubbly outdoor jacuzzis set among bamboo gardens and characteristically serene Korean designs inviting peace in after bouncy days spent whizzing from A to B.
