Lonely Planet Seoul City Guide 0.98

For reliable and authoritative travel information reach for your Lonely Planet guide. – The Times

Aim straight for the heart of Seoul with Lonely Planet’s Cityguide on your iPhone. World-heritage listed palaces and shrines jostle against teeming bars and hazy, happy gogi gui (Korean barbeque) restaurants in this diverse, ever-changing city. Our authors hitched up their belts, gritted their teeth and scoured the Korean capital from Gyeongbokgung Palace to Namdaemun Market to create this essential guide.

iPhone functionality has taken the Seoul Cityguide to the next level, enabling dynamic, interactive maps with GPS plotting; easy navigation through in-depth chapters on Korean history, culture and food; beautiful, high-res imagery to complement interviews with locals, eager to share the best of their city; hundreds of geo-coded places to eat, shop, drink, sleep and socialise, all independently reviewed, searchable and filterable; and walking tours and excursions to get you out and about. And you can forget roaming internet costs: all our Cityguides are designed as stand-alone apps. Essential!
