South Korea

Welcome to South Korea, a country where ancient palaces stand proudly amidst futuristic skyscrapers. South Korea is in East Asia and covers the southern half of the Korean Peninsula. The peninsula is divided into two countries: North Korea and South Korea. Although North Korea is officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and South Korea is known as the Republic of Korea.

Established in 1948, South Korea, or the Republic of Korea as it is officially known, composes the southern half of the Korean peninsula, along with thousands of outlying islands. The capital city, Seoul, is a buzzing metropolis at the heart of the country's technology scene. For the best bird's-eye view of Seoul, head to the observatory at the N Seoul Tower, which offers a 360-degree view of the cityscape and the summit of Mount Namsan.

Back on the ground, visit Deoksugung Palace, a modern palace flanked by a traditional gate, and watch the daily Changing of the Royal Guard. In the evening, attend a traditional Korean performance at the Jeongdong Theater.

For a complete change of pace, venture to the white-sand Haeundae Beach in Busan. Stretching around 1 mile (2 kilometers) long, this beach offers a relaxing break from the buzz of city life.

Find Bulguksa Temple on the slopes of Mount Toham on the southeastern coast. This Buddhist temple complex features unique Silla-era pagodas and a monumental sea-facing statue of Buddha.

South Korean food is flavorful and spicy. Be sure to try kimchi, spicy fermented cabbage, often used as an accompaniment to main dishes bibimbap, a mixed rice and vegetable dish, often topped with egg and meat and bulgogi, barbecued marinated beef.

The largest airport in South Korea is Incheon International Airport, located in Seoul. Each of the country's major cities has their own subway system, with signs written in both English and Korean, and journeys paid for using rechargeable money cards. Taxis are abundant and inexpensive, and ferries run regularly from the mainland to the hundreds of outlying islands. Visit South Korea during spring, and you'll likely be blessed with warm temperatures and little rainfall.

South Korea is a land of incredible contrasts and boundless energy. Here, you can feel the pulse of K-Pop culture in one moment and find tranquil peace in a Buddhist temple the next. It is a classic blend of modern life and old traditions. Tall skyscrapers stand next to ancient temples, showing how the past and present come together. It is a place filled with memories that you will never forget. Families will love interactive museums and theme parks. Couples will find romance in scenic landscapes and chic cafes. Solo adventurers can explore bustling markets and hike stunning trails. Fans of Korean culture will feel like they are inside a real-life K-drama scene.
