Koreans know when to have fun, and you can belt out tunes with new friends in *noraebang* (Korean karaoke), or for kids, at the many amusement parks. Just outside Seoul, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a unique glimpse into North Korea.

An efficient bus and train network can whisk you further afield. Gyeongju is a living museum of rolling green burial mounds dedicated to emperors; and Jeonju Hanok Village is history you can walk through. Coastal city Busan and towns on Jeju Island have an easy sea-breezy vibe to enjoy the good life – from beaches to art festivals, or to simply gorge yourself on the freshest seafood.

Every meal in South Korea feels like a communal celebration. Dishes often showcase the sea's bounty, focus on hearty stews, or are set around BBQ traditions meant for sharing. This is where people queue for picture-perfect desserts and start global trends.

Discover Korean culture in stylish Seoul, with hip teahouses and bars, ancient palaces and a gusto for eating. The capital is a gateway to Korea's easy jaunts into nature. Ascend paved mountain paths to serene temples and hot springs, or feast your way through seaside towns.
