South Korea

Inspiring, complex and utterly enthralling, South Korea is a country of limitless adventures, endless possibilities and the experiences of a lifetime.

From the Buddhist culture of the Silla Kingdom to the pulsating modernity of cosmopolitan cities, South Korea showcases its diversity through an enthralling combination of natural and cultural wonders.

Grand palaces, stunning, traditional pagodas and fortress relics are scattered through a landscape of botanical gardens, voluptuous valleys, mighty rivers and mountain peaks.

Asia's rising star, Seoul, is the cultural hub of South Korea. Fast-paced and exciting, this is a city where you can sing yourself hoarse in karaoke bars, dine in fabulous restaurants and shop in designated fashion districts, yet turn a corner to find ancient temples and beautifully reconstructed, fourteenth century palaces.

Carve out your own trail by heading off the beaten track where you will find treasures undiscovered by the masses. Explore serene monuments and timeless folk villages and discover the tranquillity of terraced rice paddies, tumbling waterfalls and fathomless blue lakes.

The scope of experiences is as varied as the scenery; take tea in a quaint tearoom and scour bustling, covered markets, unwind in natural hot springs or take part in vibrant festivals. The winter months offer skiing and a dazzling array of winter sports, while the summer months are perfect for a voyage to unspoilt islands and the golden sands of the coast.

Experience different cultures, try new things, challenge your ideas and discover the diversity that the world has to offer. Korea will remind you how amazing travel can be.
