Top Things to Do in South Korea

Wondering what to do once you’re there? Here are a few must-do experiences:

Take a class: Try taekwondo, K-pop dance, or kimchi-making to experience Korean culture and meet fellow tourists with similar interests.

Experience nature: Take to one of Korea’s many walking trails, cycle along the Han River or take a yacht tour off the coast of Jeju Island for great scenic views.

Rent a hanbok: Have a photoshoot in traditional clothes, or wander around Gyeongbokgung Palace or Jeonju Hanok Village to truly feel like you’ve gone back in time to the Joseon Dynasty.

Visit a traditional market: Jagalchi Fish Market is a must-do in Busan, while Gwangjang Market in Seoul and Dongmun Traditional Market in Jeju City are the best places to try delicious traditional Korean food. 

Hiking: Try your hand at Soraksan mountain, considered one of the most beautiful mountains in Korea, Bukhansan, the largest mountain in Korea located in Seoul, or Hallasan, the dormant volcano at the heart of Jeju Island, for incredible panoramic views.
