With its island studded coastline, stunning national parks, glittering cities, and elegant royal palaces, South Korea is an enticing and beguiling slice of East Asia.

This intriguing country offers a plethora of things to see and do. Sip traditional brews at a tranquil tea-room in Insadong and sample delicious dishes at a Korean barbecue restaurant or “gogi-jip”. Trek through spectacular national parks such as Naejangsan, whose maples explode with colour during the autumn months, or wander the buzzing 24-hour Dongdaemun Market in Seoul, the city the never sleeps.

The Korean capital of SEOUL is an assault on the senses. Even small streets find themselves quite alive with frenzied activity by day and searing neon after sunset, while eardrums are set pounding by clamouring shop assistants and the nighttime thump of a thousand karaoke rooms. Restaurants serving Korea’s delectably spicy national dishes lure you in with their amazing aromas and tastes while doing minimal damage to your figure (or wallet), and for tactile bliss, the hot pools and ice rooms of the ubiquitous jjimjilbang bathhouses have no equal.

With over twenty million souls packed sardine-like into a metropolitan area smaller than Luxembourg, this is one of the most densely populated places on the planet, but for all its nonstop consumption, Seoul is also a place of considerable tradition and history. Joseon-dynasty palaces, displayed like medals in the centre of the city, proclaim its status as a seat of regal power from as far back as 1392; the tiled roofs of wooden hanok houses gently fish-scale their way towards the ash-coloured granite crags of Bukhansan, the world’s most-visited national park; the ancient songs and dances of farmhands and court performers are still clashed out in a whirligig of sound and colour along the street of Insadonggil.
