Seoul Car Hire

On your next trip to South Korea’s capital make sure to consider our Seoul car hire services. Seoul is by far the country’s largest city and one of the region’s financial and cultural centers. Having a very long and relatively recently tumultuous history Seoul is nowadays a high tech metropolis.

Getting into the city via airplane will have you landing at Seoul Airport or Incheon Airport as it is known because it is located in the neighboring city of Incheon. The airport is connected to Seoul via high-speed train services as well as limousine buses, but one better option would be to employ our Seoul car rental services and have a car waiting for you at the airport as soon as you land.

The Seoul traffic is not for the faint hearted, it is very chaotic featuring reckless drivers and what seem to be constantly jammed streets, nevertheless if you plan on driving out of the city a fair bit you might not mind it very much.

If you choose to hang around Seoul and visit its attractions you will be glad to know that there are no less then five major palaces in the city.

Gyeongbok-gung is the grandest palace from the Joseon Dynasty which was destroyed by Japanese invasions on two separate occasions once in 1592 and a second time in 1910. Since then it has been restored and it now houses the Joseon Palace Museum as well as the Korean Folk Museum in its vast grounds.

Changdeok-gung is actually an older palace, first built in 1405 but it wasn’t used for a long time, it was however the seat of power between 1618 and 1896 and has been restored to its initial color scheme. Notable buildings are the blue-roofed Seonjeongjeon which was the King’s office and the Daejojeon or Great Making Hall which was his bedchamber. This palace also contains the famous Huwon or Secret Garden.

Besides the palaces Seoul visitors can see a lot of temples and shrines as well as enjoy some great parks and many other attractions which can be more easily accessed with the help of our Seoul car hire services.
