South Korea blends modernity and tradition with futuristic cities, a strong economy, and thousands of years of history. While the country split from North Korea in 1953, South Korea has thrived, showcasing a diverse landscape of bustling cities, serene countryside, volcanic islands, traditional villages, and rice paddies.
Seoul, the capital city, dazzles with its vibrant energy, neon lights, and rich historical sites. Moving south, Busan offers a coastal retreat surrounded by mountains, complemented by nearby Gyeongju, known for its ancient temples and tombs.
With over half the country covered in forests, South Korea is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking in spring and autumn and skiing in winter. The rugged mountains transition to coastal plains and pristine islands like Jeju, a popular volcanic destination.
South Korea’s culinary scene is a highlight, featuring spicy, sweet, and sour flavors. Street stalls and markets offer endless food options for visitors. For a deeper gastronomic experience, consider a traditional homestay in Jeonju, a UNESCO City of Gastronomy famed for bibimbap. Known for their warmth and hospitality, the friendly locals add to the memorable experiences you’ll cherish from your time in South Korea.
