Webcams of Seoul online - the capital of the Republic of Korea

Seoul webcams, which can be viewed online on this site, represent the capital of South Korea, as well as the one-of-a-kind city of special subordination, consisting of twenty-five districts with full self-government.

Rapidly developing Seoul surprisingly combines the urban style of a modern metropolis and carefully protected architectural monuments of its ancient history.

The functions of the capital were assigned to this city in the IV century BC. Then it was called Vireson, and the ancient state of Koryo included the territory of South and part of modern North Korea. During its eventful history, including several wars, the city was renamed more than once and was subjected to serious destruction. But some ancient structures managed to be restored.
Gyeongbokgung Palace, which belonged to the Joseon imperial dynasty back in the XIV century, was almost completely burned down during the Japanese invasion. Now restored to the smallest details, the majestic complex is very popular with tourists. It is a huge park, on the territory of which there are buildings used by the emperor and his family members both privately and in public life.
The Imperial Throne Hall, which served as a place for official receptions, festive celebrations and meetings with foreign delegations, stands out among these artfully recreated buildings. To get to it, you first need to enter the main gate of Kwanghwamun, where an entertaining changing of the guard ceremony is held every hour – a sight beloved by both citizens and tourists.
In addition to the Throne Room, there are several other equally interesting structures in the palace park – a banquet salon, an imperial library, as well as an elegant pavilion built in the middle of a beautiful artificial lake.
The National Ethnographic Museum operates in all these buildings, and in each room ancient interiors in national Korean traditions are reproduced in detail.
No less popular with tourists is the exotic Changdeokgung Palace, dating from 1405. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site as a magnificent example of Oriental architecture and landscape design.
The partially preserved city wall of the ancient city with a total length of about twelve kilometers, built of rough and time-darkened stone, looks very unusual against the background of the lush greenery of the forest parks of the South Korean capital.

If you watch Seoul webcams online, you can notice an incredible number of skyscrapers in the business center of the city.

In such a shopping center, you can spend the whole day moving from endless clothing boutiques, furniture salons or gyms to cafes, restaurants and national grocery stores. There are cinemas, art museums, children's entertainment centers, and recreation rooms. The time is simply lost when you get into this wonderful world of modern technology and comfort.
An interesting fact: in the modern street design of Seoul, in its architecture and in the interior interiors of the premises, the original Korean flavor is incredibly preserved. The entertainment venues of the city are focused on modern Western trends, but with the preservation of national traditions of musical art.
The undoubted pride of Seoul and the world's sports heritage is the Olympic Park, which still continues to impress with the scale of construction more than thirty years ago. In addition to sports facilities, a grandiose symbolic stele "Gates of Peace" has been erected in the park, a photo shoot against the background of which is included in the mandatory program of foreign tourists. It is located in the center of the original open-air sculpture park.
Also on the territory of the Olympic Park, archaeological finds such as an earthen defensive rampart and an ancient military fortification Mon Chon have been preserved. The latter, by the way, served as the original stadium for pentathlon competitions.

A special role in the construction of the Seoul Olympic Park is assigned to the idea of complete unity with nature.

Thanks to her, excellent conditions have been created here for living in the natural environment of plants and some animals (chipmunks, raccoons and egrets).
The new themed entertainment complex "Adventure", which includes many attractions, is also very popular. This huge gaming metropolis is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest in the world in terms of territory coverage and versatility.
