South Korea · best April-June and September-November
Seoul runs on contrast: five-hundred-year-old palace gates in the shadow of glass towers, third-wave coffee bars next to tofu-stew joints that haven't changed their menu since the Olympics. It's a city that never asks you to choose between old and new, so don't.
Hongdae
Art-school energy, street performers, and bars that don't quit until sunrise.
