The city houses 11.8 million people, and the metropolitan area has 25.6 million, which is just over half of the population of South Korea. By some measures it is the world's second largest urban agglomeration, after Tokyo. Seoul as the capital city of Korea has a history back to the 14th century. While few historical points of interest remain (most of the temples and palaces are reconstructions), much of Seoul's infrastructure is exceptionally modern and clean. Skyscrapers and high rises abound. The subway system is the third-largest in the world and perhaps one of the finest. In recent years,, Seoul has been swamped with tourists from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia, following the success of Korean pop culture. There are a lot of see and do here.
