Destination overview

Home to 5000 years of culture, ancient temples, delicious cuisine and various natural wonders, South Korea has all the makings of a perfect getaway.

Located between Japan and China in East Asia, South Korea is renowned for its seasons, putting on a spectacular show all year round. From a sea of cherry blossom in spring to beachside bathing in summer, you’ll also find a color show of leaves in fall and a winter wonderland blanketed in snow.

South Korea’s capital, Seoul, is a thriving hub of activity. Technologically advanced yet deeply traditional, the capital leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. From the Gyeongbokgung Palace to the ancient Jogyesa Temple, shopping in Myeongdong and Seoul Grand Park Zoo, there is so much to see and do in this exciting, fast paced metropolis.

Venture outside the city and discover a world of natural beauty. Visit the volcanic landscape at Seongsan Sunrise Peak, experience unforgettable views along the Gongryong Ridge on Seorak Mountain and relax in the beachside paradise of Jeju Island’s Hyeopjae Beach.

If Asia is in your sights, a vacation in South Korea should not be missed.
