Seoul, South Korea

Visit during late January or early February 2027 to enjoy lower hotel rates outside of peak seasons. Explore the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace and the trendy Hongdae neighbourhood for affordable street food and nightlife. Don't miss trying budae-jjigae (army stew) and tteokbokki from local pojangmacha street stalls.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Late January to early February falls in the dry season in southern Vietnam, offering pleasant weather and relatively affordable prices just before Tết festivities drive up costs. Wander through the bustling Ben Thanh Market, visit the Reunification Palace, and explore the vibrant backpacker district of Bui Vien Street. Fuel up on cheap and delicious banh mi, pho, and fresh spring rolls from street vendors throughout the city.
