South Korea is the rarest of the rare: a country that’s packed to bursting with quirks, charm and cultural riches, but that still – for now – feels like something of a joyous secret. Of course, with its K-pop megastars, Oscar-winning films, and a cuisine becoming more popular by the year, it’s only a matter of time before Hallyu, the so-called “Korean Wave”, sweeps the globe. And now could be the perfect opportunity to ride on its crest. Spend some time travelling the peninsula and you’ll find that South Korea – or just plain “Korea”, to absolutely everyone here – is by turns ambitiously hi-tech and captivatingly traditional, densely populated while mostly mountainous and covered in pine trees. You know that old “land of contrasts” cliché? Well, this is one country where it really does pass muster. While it’s the cherry blossom viewing spots, the hiking trails and the tantalising food that may draw you here, it’s the unprepared-for things – the intriguing folklore, 5,000 years' worth of palpable history, and the gregarious, garrulous locals that’ll really capture your heart. Our favourite routes South Korea itineraries featuring the places and experiences we love most Best of South Korea €5,100 CLASSIC South Korea might not look so big on a map, but over the course of almost two weeks, this trip will show you that its size doesn’t matter at all – there’s simply so much to see here, and you’ll be hitting all the top spots. Jeju Island Extension €1,300 CLASSIC FAMILY Whatever you’ve seen during your stay in Korea, a side-trip to Jeju Island will be the cherry on top. Koreans absolutely love the place (if you want proof, Seoul-to-Jeju is the world’s busiest flight route) – and you probably will too.
