Explore the mystery of South Korea
Welcome to the Land of the Morning Calm
The attractive southern half of the Korean peninsula is a country deeply rooted in ancient Buddhism. A holiday to South Korea means visiting a land of craggy mountains, national parks carpeted in thick forests and an unspoiled countryside sprinkled with rustic wooden ‘Hanock’ houses.
South Korea is an interesting country. Visitors often begin by soaking up the lively atmosphere in thriving Seoul. The city is a mix of old and new with both exquisite temples and palaces alongside neon streets bustling with noise and vibrancy.
The best views are afforded from the iconic Seoul Tower. This couldn’t contrast more with what awaits travellers in the countryside. Beautiful and mountainous, the regions beyond the city are filled with thousands of ornate temples, home to the country’s Buddhist monks.
There’s plenty to enchant culture seekers, you can Temple-hop in the former Silla Kingdom capital of Gyeongju, admire the 80,000 beautifully preserved wooden printing blocks at Gayasan National Park’s Haeinsa Temple, discover the port towns brimming with seafood markets dotted along the dramatic coastline or visit Jeju Island, the volcanic province situated off the southern coast, voted one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature.
No matter what you decide to do, you won't be disappointed during your stay in South Korea.
