Travel to South Korea

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, winds around the Han River, and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. This city is really unique as modern steel and glass skyscrapers stand side by side with ancient buildings. Without any doubts the piece of art and architecture of Seoul is The Summer Palace. For family entertainment in Seoul Children's Grand Park will be the best place. Seoul’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site is Changdeok-gung, which is really worth visiting. If you are tired of the city noise, there are plenty of parks and gardens to have a rest. Among them Boramae Park, Olympic Park, Yangjae Citizen’s Forest, Yeouido Park, and others. The second largest metropolis and at the same time a port city of South Korea is Busan. The main city attraction is The U.N. Cemetery, where the soldiers of the Korean War are buried. If you are fond of sea-products, you are welcome to famous Jagalchi fish market – the top attraction of Busan.

Andong is considered to be the town of the aristocrats and the old culture. This place is remarkable because of the fact that The Mask Dance Festival is held there every autumn. Visit Folk Museum, located in Andong. It has a rich collection of the relics of Korean culture. Very good hiking trail for the active tourists is a visit to the 9th century Buddhist temple in Haeinsa, for those who are interested in history - the Demilitarized Zone in Panmunjiom, which separates South Korea from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea).
