Top places to visit in South Korea
Seoul
Home to half the country’s population, the hi-tech capital retains a traditional character. Ancient palaces sit beneath towering skyscrapers, Buddhist temples are dwarfed by gleaming shopping malls and sprawling street markets are served by the cutting-edge subway.
Busan
On the southern tip of the Korean peninsula, this laidback port city is famed for its gorgeous beaches, seafood market and international film festival. Don’t miss the neighbourhood of Gamcheon with its tumble of brightly painted houses against a backdrop of forested mountains.
Gyeongju
Chock full of tombs, palaces, rock carvings and pagodas, the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom is a treasure trove of cultural sites, a ‘museum without walls’. Dine like a king over a traditional 12-course meal and stay in an authentic hanok for a truly local experience.
Jeju
A subtropical island with a pristine volcanic landscape, Jeju is South Korea’s answer to Hawaii. Climb to the rims of ancient craters to watch the sunrise, explore lava caves and rocky coastlines, and switch off from modern life in the peaceful healing forests.
