Destinations

Seoul, South Korea

Spend your first days exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace — rent a hanbok nearby for free entry and stunning photos. Bukchon Hanok Village and Ikseon-dong are packed with dreamy cafes and photo spots. Book your DMZ tour in advance, as slots fill up fast.
Busan, South Korea

Gamcheon Culture Village is a must for colourful photos and quirky cafes tucked into the hillside. Haeundae Beach and Gwangalli are great for evening walks and seaside eats — try raw fish at Jagalchi Market. The city has a totally different vibe to Seoul, more coastal and relaxed.
Gyeongju, South Korea

Gyeongju is easily done as a day trip from Busan (just 40 mins by KTX train). Explore Bulguksa Temple, the ancient Tumuli Park royal burial mounds, and the magical Cheomseongdae observatory. It's nicknamed the 'museum without walls' and is perfect for history and photography lovers.
