The perfect blend of old and new, South Korea stands out as a haven for ancient culture, peaceful temples, wild coastlines and aromatic cuisine. Stroll past shining skyscrapers and traditional houses in Seoul, where you can eat fried chicken on a street food tour, admire the colourful Hanbok clothing and learn about national history in the city’s museums.
Leaving the city behind, you can visit local temples, even staying the night to truly immerse yourself in the experience, meeting the monks and soaking up the serenity of the mountains. Kick back and relax in the local jjimjilbang bath houses, tour the unique DMZ area on the border of North Korea and hike across the rugged caldera on Jeju Island.
South Korea combines perfectly with Japan or China, allowing a glimpse into two of Asia’s fascinating cultures in one trip. Seoul is also an ideal stopover on your way to Australia, New Zealand or other parts of Asia.
