Korea Destinations
Five places that cover the best of a first — or fifth — trip to Korea.
Busan
Ocean views, beaches, seafood and vibrant city life.
2 days
Gangneung
Gangneung pairs long sandy beaches with Korea's best-known coffee street and well-preserved Joseon houses. KTX from Seoul takes under two hours, which makes it the easiest East Sea city for a short trip.
2 days
Gyeongju
Ancient history, temples and Silla heritage.
1 days
Jeju
Island nature, volcanic landscapes and unique culture.
3 days
Jeonju
Traditional hanok village, Korean food and local culture.
1 days
Seoul
Palaces, modern city life, shopping and endless attractions.
4 days
Sokcho
Sokcho sits between Seoraksan National Park and the East Sea, so a single day can mix granite peaks, a wide city beach and a fishing market. It is the classic Gangwon base for hiking, raw fish and the local dakgangjeong.
