Korea

[Linda51]

Does anyone know of any places of interest in Seoul as me and my husband are visiting my son in October, also are any injections needed?

Though I've never been, Soeul has like other SE Asian cities much to see in the way of museums, palaces and temples, as well as being a modern, vibrant capital; see the first website below for more details. No vaccination are mandatory for South Korea, but some are recommended; UK Foreign Office advice on health and other matters is at the second link below.

If your son is already there, won't he either know the sights to see and/or be able to pick up some tourist information for you?
