Live Webcams in Seoul

Seoul, home to half of South Korea's population, is a city of astonishing energy, and the live webcams in Seoul catch both of its faces: 600-year-old palace walls in Jongno, and the skyline along the Han River at Yeouido and Mapo, where the towers light up after dark. Seoul keeps Korea Standard Time, UTC+9, with no daylight saving; the river nights that the city is famous for start around 19:00 local, which is midday in Europe. Some 25 million people live in the metropolitan area, served by one of the fastest and most extensive metro systems in the world. April and May bring the blossom to the palace grounds; September and October bring the clearest skies of the year, when the mountains that ring the city stand out behind every webcam view.
