Without the need for fancy advertisements, Korea asserts its appeal with its own genuine beauty. From vibrant cities like Seoul and Busan to the poetic scenery of Jeju Island, each place brings different emotions. Tourists choose to travel to Korea in October to immerse themselves in the red leaves season, or come in spring to see cherry blossoms in full bloom... no matter the time, this country knows how to captivate people.

Korea has four distinct seasons, and each season has its own charm.

Spring (March–May): Cherry blossoms are in full bloom, perfect for a leisurely trip.
Summer (June–August): Blue sea, vibrant festivals, ideal for adventure seekers.
Autumn (September–November): Brilliant scenery, pleasant climate – golden time for a tour to Korea.
Winter (December–February): Skiing, hot springs, and a colorful Christmas atmosphere.

Famous tourist destinations in Korea not to be missed

1. Seoul – Where memories and modernity coexist

Seoul is not only the capital, but also the beating heart of Korea. Amidst the hustle and bustle, you will find moments of silence in the grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace or under the golden ginkgo trees of Samcheong-dong Avenue.

What makes Seoul special is the way it blends technology and tradition. A small cafe in the middle of Hongdae can keep you sitting for hours listening to indie music, while Namsan Tower is always glowing – like the heartbeat of a city that never sleeps.

2. Busan – City of wind and sea

If Seoul is a bustling city, Busan is a place of freedom. There is the crystal clear blue Haeundae beach, the colorful Gamcheon art village and the bustling Jagalchi fish market – where one can feel the true breath of life.

It would be a shame to visit Korea without visiting Busan. This city gives you the feeling of slowing down in the middle of the vast ocean, where all fatigue melts away with each wave.

3. Jeju – The island of peace and romance

Jeju makes visitors fall in love at first sight. Not because of luxury, but because of its rustic and natural beauty. Each winding road hugging the black stone walls, each garden of bright yellow tangerines – all make people want to stay a little longer.

In Jeju, time seems to slow down. You can sit on the shore of Yongmeori Beach listening to the waves, or walk under the green trees in Hallim Park. Even if it is a 6-day, 5-night tour to Korea, just one day on Jeju Island is enough to bring back memorable memories.

4. Nami Island – The gentle notes of autumn

No one can forget Nami Island, where love is written in the red leaves and the gentle autumn breeze. With each step on the golden ginkgo path, you seem to hear the sound of memories – gentle, vague emotions that make people remember forever.

Nami is not just for couples. It is also for those who love beauty, love silence and want to let the autumn wind gently touch their hearts.

Experience authentic Korean culture and cuisine

Traveling to Korea without trying its cuisine would be a mistake. Each region has its own signature dishes that you will never forget: spicy kimchi, flavorful bulgogi, hot beef bone soup or nutritious ginseng chicken stew.

If you come in October, don't forget to attend the Seoul Kimchi Festival - where visitors can make kimchi themselves and enjoy traditional flavors in the chilly weather.
