Recommended cities

All regions

Seoul

Korea’s capital — where royal palaces, late-night food streets, and K-pop studios share the same few neighborhoods. Well-signposted for first-time foreign visitors, with reliable subway reach across every major district.

Gyeongju

The thousand-year capital of Silla — a walkable museum-city of burial mounds, stone pagodas, and UNESCO Buddhist art.

Jeonju

The food and hanok capital — dense traditional houses, bibimbap origins, and a late-evening tea-and-makgeolli culture.
