Matkakohteena
Etelä-Korea

Despite remaining firmly off the popular tourist trail, South Korea is a dream destination – an intriguing, welcoming nation which seamlessly combines the conveniences of modernity with a deep reverence for their remarkable 5000-year-old cultural heritage. The nation’s capital of Seoul, for example, is packed with massive shopping malls alongside traditional markets, while state-of-the-art skyscrapers stand adjacent to the remains of ancient royal palaces. Travellers looking to escape this vibrant megatropolis will find that the tranquillity of nature is easily accessible due to the country’s exceptional transport system which will whisk you away to far-flung wilderness areas where you can explore magnificent mountainous areas enclosed by densely forested national parks and dotted with peaceful villages surrounded by picturesque rice paddies. While South Korea’s cities provide enough adventure to fill any itinerary, it is beyond these urban expanses that its real natural beauty unfolds in all its of startling variety.

    Seoul

    The architectural aesthetic of South Korea's capital city, Seoul, reflects an enticing blend of old and new. State-of-the-art skyscrapers, glistening office blocks and vast modern shopping centres dominate the skyline. Despite being one of the world's most modern and vibrant mega-cities, tucked at the base of this glass, steel and concrete jungle, you will find a warren of winding cobbled streets lined with traditional wooden houses and a slew of historical sites, tranquil parks, sacred shrines and temples, and quaint tea houses. The sprawling night markets where travellers can sample some of Korea's most deliciously spicy national dishes with their alluring aromas and unique tastes are well worth visiting. Seoul is characterised by a fast-paced, frenzied atmosphere with a natural escape near a magnificent chain of peaceful mountains, all within walking distance of the city's remarkably efficient public transport system. Must-see attractions include the opulent palaces dating from the late 14th century surrounding this dynamic and enchanting metropolis.
