Things to do in South Korea
There are countless experiences to be had throughout this buzzing country, mostly revolving around culture and history, food and drink, art, adventure and a nice dose of relaxation.
Starting in the treasure trove of Seoul, you can take in the sights of the beautiful Gyeongbokgung Palace, eat your way through the Gwangjang Market, or feel the beats come alive as you join a K-pop dance class. A tour to the DMZ takes you on a deeper journey to understand the country’s past and optimistic future.
Some of the most popular experiences in Busan include visiting the beautiful coastal Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and Centum City Spa Land for a dose of relaxation and the Gamcheon Culture Village, revitalising the ‘slums’ of old, now with an exciting café and art scene. For a lunch with a difference visit Jagalchi Fish Market, pick from the market stalls and enjoy your fish cooked in one of the many restaurants above. Bliss!
