Seoul: The Monocle Travel Guide Series

by Tyler Brule (Editor), Andrew Tuck (Editor), Joe Pickard (Editor)

The definitive travel guides that make you feel like a local wherever you go.

Monocle reports from around the globe. As its editors and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar. That information is now available in The Monocle Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to readers in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets. Designed to be compact and collectable, these books go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure visitors get the best out of a city - no matter how short their stay. The guides are also they will not list a hundred places to eat, but they will focus on what is best for any occasion.

Nice beautiful book. Enjoyed the essays.

[Elizabeth Chew · Rating 3 out of 5]

This 2018 guide is skewed towards the higher end of experiences but it was interesting reading anyway. The collection of 12 short essays are the best part, shedding insight on Seoul's architecture, literature, pop culture phenomenon and more.
