Planning a South Korea holiday
Seoul moves easily between Joseon-dynasty palaces, hanok lanes and late-night markets glowing with K-culture. The fast KTX train links it to Gyeongju, the ancient Silla capital of tombs and temples, and to Busan's beaches and hillside villages. Jeju island adds volcanic peaks, lava tubes and tangerine farms.
