South Korea travel guide

A contradictory collision of ancient traditions ad hyper-modern cities, South Korea is one of Asia's offbeat hotspots

Related Content

South Korea is a bewildering place. Capital Seoul is a bustling, 24-hour modern city – yet turn a corner and you’ll stumble across a 14th-century palace or quaint tearoom.

Hard-working Koreans know how to party and you can easily spend your days grilling your own food at Korean barbecue restaurants, murdering your favourite song in the Korean version of a karaoke bar or partying in Seoul’s Hongdae district.

If cities aren’t your thing, holiday on an island, ski the slopes around Gyeonggi or potter around the temples of Guinsa.

Wanderlust recommends

  1. Admire all that shiny new technology in the shopping districts of Seoul
  2. Stock up on sea slug at the fish market
  3. Watch the sunrise on the eastern tip of beautiful Jeju
  4. Get down and dirty at the Boryeong Mud Festival
  5. Hike the rocky Seoraksan National Park

Wanderlust tips

As many Korean dishes are made for sharing, food courts and Korean fast food chains are good for solo travellers.
