South Korea

Palaces beside skyscrapers, K-pop and midnight barbecue

What it's famous for

01

Seoul's contrasts

Joseon-era palaces and hanok villages next to neon districts that trade all night.

02

Korean barbecue

Grill your own at the table, wrap it in lettuce with kimchi — dinner as a group sport.

03

K-culture

K-pop, K-dramas and beauty trends the whole world now follows — this is the source.

04

Mountains & temples

National parks minutes from the city and mountain temples where monks still ring the dawn bell.
