StyleCity Seoul

Description

This very contemporary global metropolis bustles with royal cuisine and street food, historic inns and neon-lit late-night bars - all with a distinctly Korean flavour. From cutting-edge restaurants to the most stylish shops, hotels and neighbourhoods, the StyleCity (TM) series uncovers all the special places where both locals and travellers can find a vibrant urban experience. Each book is superbly designed yet ingeniously practical, with vibrant photography, easy-to-read maps and informed texts. The first Asian city to be featured in the StyleCity series, Korea's Seoul is one of the East's most dynamic and creative locations. A centre for technological innovation and design, Seoul with its creative and digital industries, attracts leading international talent and youth to its heady mix of high-tech wizardry and the traditional values of an ancient society.

Martin Zatko writes widely on travel in the Far East. He is also the author of The Rough Guide toVietnam.
