FAQ

What are some popular tourist destinations to visit in Korea?

Korea has a range of popular destinations. Seoul offers historical sites like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village, along with shopping districts like Myeongdong. Busan is known for its beautiful beaches like Haeundae and Gwangalli, plus local markets like Jagalchi. Jeju Island boasts scenic spots like Hallasan Mountain and Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. Gyeongju is home to ancient Silla Dynasty sites such as Bulguksa Temple. Lastly, the DMZ, including Panmunjom, is a must-see for those interested in Korea’s modern history.

The best time to visit depends on the season. Spring (March–May) is famous for cherry blossoms, with mild weather perfect for sightseeing. Summer (June–August) can be hot and rainy but is ideal for coastal trips and festivals. Autumn (September–November) offers beautiful fall foliage and cool, comfortable weather. Winter (December–February) is cold but great for winter sports, hot springs, and traditional winter foods.

In Korea, the subway is the easiest and most convenient way to get around, with English signage and a rechargeable transport card. Buses also use the same card, and routes can be checked through smartphone apps. Taxis are available by the meter, and you can use apps like KakaoTaxi. For intercity travel, KTX is a fast option, connecting cities like Seoul and Busan. Airport limousine buses are convenient for traveling between the airport and major cities.

Korea offers many shopping options. Duty-free shops are popular for tax-free shopping, available before departure. At traditional markets, you can find unique local products and haggle for discounts. While most places accept credit cards, it’s good to carry cash for smaller shops. Currency exchange can be done at banks or in-town exchange offices. Popular shopping districts like Myeongdong and Gangnam feature a wide range of international brands.

Korean cuisine is diverse and flavorful. Popular dishes include bibimbap, bulgogi, and kimchi, with each region offering its own specialties. In Seoul, street foods like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and gimbap (Korean sushi rolls) are common. In Jeju, fresh seafood and black pork are must-tries, while Busan is known for mil-myeon (wheat noodles) and grilled fish. Most restaurants use forks and spoons, but some traditional places offer chopsticks. Korea also has a thriving cafe culture, with plenty of drinks and desserts to enjoy.
