Well, look no further. Sit back, relax, open your notes, and let\u2019s get to your ultimate 9-day itinerary for traveling in South Korea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Congratulations, you\u2019ve made it to Seoul. The sprawling megacity of some 10 million people is sure to welcome you with open arms, and since you\u2019re new to the area, it\u2019s best to kick off your grand tour of South Korea settling into Seoul and getting acquainted with the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit the observation deck of N Seoul Tower for a breathtaking bird\u2019s eye view of Seoul from 777-ft. above Namsan Peak. Familiarize yourself with local transportation, lifestyle, cultural differences, food, and communication, by taking the metro to Myeon-dong, a bustling shopping hub, grabbing coffee at the awe-inspiring Starfield Library, overlooking Heunginjimun Gate in Dongdaemun, and taking a leisurely stroll along Cheonggyecheon Stream in downtown. Let\u2019s keep it simple and prep for the awesome days ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Koreans love<\/em> to eat fried chicken, and there\u2019s a 99.99% chance you\u2019ll come across some of the best chicken wings you\u2019ve ever tried in your life during your trip. So, if you\u2019re not completely ready to munch on traditional Korean food your first day, try stopping at Kyochon Chicken or 678 Chicken in while you\u2019re in Myeon-dong. And if you are ready to dig into some local street snacks, head over to Namdaemun Market for a taste of what\u2019s to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n $$$ – Courtyard by Marriot Seoul Namdaemun<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ – Hotel Skypark Kingstown<\/p>\n\n\n\n $ – Myeongdong Rooftop Hostel<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you\u2019re semi-settled, today is all about exploring Seoul\u2019s top attractions and diving head first into South Korean culture and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start your day bright and early with a trip to Gwanghwamun Square, a tourist friendly public space featuring 2 iconic statues of local historical heroes. Next, you\u2019ll want to spend a few hours exploring Gyeongbukgong Palace, a culturally aesthetic, beautiful grand palace that was once home to Korea\u2019s most powerful aristocrats. Afterwards, continue on to Bukchon Hanok Village, a 600-year old vibrant neighborhood riddled with traditional houses, for a glimpse into South Korea\u2019s past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stimulate your taste buds by unloading on traditional Korean street food at Gwangjang Market, one of Korea\u2019s oldest and most popular markets. You can try everything from kimchi, kimbap, fish cakes, and gill cheese lobster, to blood sausage, fried milk, and live octopus. Hey, that\u2019s why you\u2019re here, isn\u2019t it?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n End your day with a relaxing massage at a popular Jjimjilbang, or Korean spa, like Dragon Hill Spa and LK Spa. We\u2019ll save the drinks for tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you\u2019re more comfortable with the region, it\u2019s time to go on your first excursion outside of the city with an exciting day trip to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n By Day 3 you\u2019ll feel more comfortable touring Seoul, so it\u2019s the perfect time to go on a grand escapade to the DMZ, an active cease-fire zone on the border of North and South Korea. Portions of the 154-mile long, 2.5-mile wide strip are open to the public via licensed tour, and the best way to get there is by taking the scenic route from aboard the DMZ Peace Train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By evening\u2019s time you\u2019ll have arrived back in Seoul, and that\u2019s when you\u2019ll visit Lotte World Tower, Korea\u2019s tallest building, which is equipped with a mall, theatre, aquarium, and observation deck. Hang out, go shopping, and sightsee with the locals in a modern setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tomorrow\u2019s an even bigger day of traveling, so you\u2019ll want to stuff your face with delicious meals that\u2019ll keep you energized. I recommend two options: The first, continue exploring Korea\u2019s street food markets with a fun trip to Bamdokkaebi Night Market, Myeong-don Street Food Alley, or Common Ground. And the second? Since you\u2019re already at Lotte Tower in the evening, go big with an extravagant meal at 123 Lounge. Located on Lotte Tower\u2019s 123rd<\/sup> Floor, it\u2019s the highest restaurant in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By late evening, unwind with drinks and dancing in Itaewon, a popular foreign-friendly dining and nightlife hub in Seoul. Enjoy small talk with international expats by asking them about their amazing experiences living in Korea and find recommendations for places to visit and unique things to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 4 deserves yet another congratulations. You\u2019ve made it this far and surely you\u2019ve had the best time of your life exploring South Korea\u2019s capital city. Today, you\u2019re going on an adventure in Busan, Korea\u2019s 2nd<\/sup> largest city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start your day early with a 2.15 hour ride to Busan on a KTX high-speed train. After checking in to your hotel, head over to Busan Tower\u2019s observation deck for an unobstructed view the city from nearly 400 ft. above a Longtou Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, head over and see Gamcheon Culture Village, a vast collection of colorful terraced houses perched on a coastal mountain. Explore the village\u2019s winding alleyways, murals, museums, and photo zones. Trust me when I say that Gamcheon Culture Village is easily the most jaw-dropping, Insta-worthy attraction in Busan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Afterwards, make your way to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple for a stunning look at pagodas, Buddhist statues, decorative halls, and spectacular views of the temple suspended on a rocky shoreline and surrounded by roaring waves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I remember it like yesterday. It was my 1st<\/sup> day in Busan and I made a quick stop at 7th<\/sup> Street Pizza. That’s when I took a bite of the best pizza I had ever eaten, even until this day. The melted cheese… its perfectly seasoned crust. That<\/em> pizza is something my taste buds will never forget. You\u2019d think this was a paid ad, but you might just fall in love with Busan after tasting the food at 7th<\/sup> Street Pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the late night, bring your best camera to Gwangan Bridge, which was actually used as a backdrop for an action-packed car chase scene in Marvel Studios\u2019 Black Panther.<\/em> Remember the striking purple-pink bridge where Black panther flipped off an exploding car? That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, end your day with drinks at The Bay 101, a luxury yacht club, gallery, caf\u00e9, pub, and dining establishment situated in the upscale community of Haeundae. <\/p>\n\n\n\n $$$ – The Westin Josun Busan (Haeundae)<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ – LaVe de Atlan (Haeundae)<\/p>\n\n\n\n $ – Ocean to Heaven Hotel (Biff Square)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve barely scratched the surface of all the awesome attractions and cool experiences waiting for you in Busan, so let\u2019s continue discovering and creating memorable adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Get your 2nd<\/sup> day in Busan started with a simple leisure activity that includes SEALIFE Busan Aquarium or Busan Art Museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, go on a refreshing afternoon trip to Haeundae, the most popular place to visit in Busan. The 1.5-mile stretch of golden sand beach is home to 5-star hotels, eateries, occasional festivals, and sweeping shoreline views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the evening, find yourself captivated by elaborate religious and cultural decorations lining Samkwang \u201cSamgwangsa\u201d Temple. Seriously<\/em>, people travel thousands of miles every year just to check out the temple\u2019s dazzling lantern displays during Buddha\u2019s birthday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By this time you\u2019ve probably fell in love with Korean street food, so let\u2019s make a stop at Bupyeong Kkhangtong Market. There, you\u2019ll also find kiosks selling Asian cuisine from Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By nightfall, set out on a journey to discover Busan\u2019s vibrant nightlife scene. Biff Square and Kyungsung District boasts the best bars, lounges, and clubs, and are popular locations for foreigners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll have one more exciting destination to explore before heading back to Seoul, and it\u2019s only right that it\u2019s South Korea\u2019s closest place to paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For your next adventure, take an hour-long flight from Gimhae International Airport in Busan to Jeju International Airport. Don\u2019t worry, tickets are dirt cheap. Expect to pay between $25-$50 with an early booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeju Island isn\u2019t equipped with a metro, and local public bus options aren\u2019t necessarily foreign-friendly. The easiest way to get around Jeju Island is by way of renting a car or joining the hop-on, hop-off Jeju City Tour Bus<\/a>, which is a fun and convenient option that I highly recommended for your 1st<\/sup> day. But don\u2019t fret, should you decided to rent a car or taxi, I\u2019ve got plenty of interesting places for you to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start your adventure with a visit to Yakchusan Temple, one of the largest oceanside Buddhist temples in Asia. Next, head to the 260,000 sq. meter Sanghyowon Botanical Garden for an enchanting look at diverse plant life and gorgeous floral displays. When you\u2019ve arrived at Seongsan Sunrise Peak, take in the beautiful natural scenery of the UNESCO site that was formed by underwater volcano eruptions thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll definitely want to try some staple foods of Jeju that include local flavors and seasonings, and Guksu Geori, better known as Noodle Street, offers a wide variety of scrumptious local noodle dishes. There are over two dozen shops that specialize in noodle soups enhanced with pork, broths, tofu, anchovies, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Cliff Cafe & Pub is a popular shoreline eatery and pub on Jeju island. Head there in the late evening to enjoy cocktails, delicious island entr\u00e9es, and live music as you watch the sun disappear behind the horizon along the East China Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$$ – Sono Calm Jeju<\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ – Aria Hotel<\/p>\n\n\n\n $ – Jeju Raon Hotel & Resort<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s continue exploring South Korea\u2019s island paradise with exciting outdoor excursions in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today\u2019s your day to get outside and enjoy the natural wonders on Jeju Island. But first, let\u2019s grab a delicious cup of Joe and enjoy seaside views at Cafe Aewol Monsat. Next, dive 40-meters under the sea and check out marine life with Seogwipo Submarine. Now this<\/em> is one activity you won\u2019t want to miss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Afterwards, explore the remarkable topography of the 12th<\/sup> longest lava tunnel in the world at Manjanggul Cave. When you\u2019re finished, enjoy a scenic hike along Mount Hallasan National Park, and if you\u2019re not too tired, end the last leg of your sightseeing tour of Jeju island with a trip to the beautiful Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve got a variety of grilled pork options at Jeju Black Pork Street. If you\u2019re set on seafood, head to the Wimi Port Raw Fish Center for choices of raw fish seasoned with local ingredients. And if you\u2019re in the mood for Korean chicken, Gyorae-ri Village hosts a number of restaurants offering boiled chicken with rice, chicken soups, friend chicken, and braised chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the hip bars, lounges, and dance clubs on Jeju Island can be found in the City Hall area of Jeju City, Seogwipo City, and the more tourist-friendly Shinjeju Baozen Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, you\u2019ve experienced modern day Korea in Seoul. You\u2019ve explored the beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife of Busan, and enjoyed fun outdoor activities in nature on Jeju Island. Today, it\u2019s time to discover more of the history, culture, and traditions that make up South Korea, and one of the best places to do so is in Andong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting to Andong from Jeju Island will require a flight and bus combo, but with a total duration of just 3 hours\u2014plus, being the amazing trooper that you are\u2014I\u2019d say the journey is well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After checking in to your hotel, let\u2019s head over to Andong Hahoe Folk Village, a traditional village, and also, UNESCO World Heritage Site, of South Korea\u2019s 16th<\/sup> century Joseon Dynasty. Get a glimpse of the ancient way of life once held by locals, which includes a look at centuries-old choga houses, Joseon-era architecture, daily customs, and more. You\u2019ll also have the chance to watch live folk dance performances at the Hahoe Mask Museum and take home a few cultural souvenirs from an onsite shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, hop on a boat at the village for quick ride over to Buyongdae Mountain, where you\u2019ll only need about 10 minutes to hike up to its peak and capture a panoramic bird\u2019s eye view of the sprawling Andong Hahoe Village. When you\u2019re finished, head back down for a captivating look at Woryeonggyo Bridge, also known as Moonlight Bridge, as it stretches over a striking Nakdonggang River. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Afterwards, let\u2019s make a trip to Andong Folk Museum, where you\u2019ll find exhibits and displays dedicated folk culture and Confucian philosophy and way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jjimdak, or braised chicken, is a staple food of Andong. In fact, it\u2019s so popular that it\u2019s even got its own street. Welcome to Andong Jjimdak Street (also Andong Jjimdak Alley), where you\u2019ll find everything from savory spicy chicken dishes with glass noodles and potatoes to grilled mackerel and local bibimbap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n $$$ – Rakkojae Andong Hahoe Folk Village <\/p>\n\n\n\n $$ – Andong CM Park Hotel<\/p>\n\n\n\n $ – Syomotel<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s continue exploring museums, temples, and landmarks that provide an in-depth look at history and culture in South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s start your day with an exciting trip to Byeongsanseowon Confucian Academy. A 400+ year old school\u2014also, UNESCO World Heritage Site\u2014built to honor a Confucian scholar, the academy is best known for its traditional aesthetic architecture, sweeping views of surrounding natural scenery, and \u2018feng-shui\u2019 designed campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you\u2019re finished, make your way to Bongjeongsa Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the city and oldest wooden building in all of Korea. Later, pay a visit to the Andong Soju Museum to learn about the history of Korea\u2019s national alcohol. By this point, I\u2019m 100% sure that you\u2019ve tried soju since landing in Korea, so you minus well find out what you\u2019ve had fun drinking! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Taste delicious Andong beef dishes at restaurants located along Andong Kalbi Street. If you\u2019ve got a little more room for dessert, head over to the Mammoth Bakery to snack on fresh breads, cakes, and pastries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the evening, take a 2.5-hour train ride back to Seoul, where wind down, reflect, and eventually depart from South Korea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s almost time to head home. Thus far, you couldn\u2019t have asked for a better trip, and with only 2 days left, let\u2019s focus on simple-yet-fun leisure activities and entertainment as you return to Seoul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You’ve made it Seoul and checked back into your original hotel. Now, let\u2019s take time to enjoy a peaceful and incredibly pictorial stroll through either Seoul\u2019s Garden of the Morning Calm or Olympic Park. Afterwards, pay a visit to Kukkiwon, or World Taekwondo Headquarters, for an authentic look at live practices and demonstrations of South Korea\u2019s national martial art. Next, go for laughs by watching an entertaining, live local show such as Cookin\u2019 Nanta, Jump!, or Drumcat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should go without saying: Spend your final full day in Seoul dining at your favorite Korean street food market. Don\u2019t<\/em> stop eating until your pop-your-belt full, and even then, take a break and come back for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s your last night in Seoul, so you better believe that it\u2019s time to live it up. In the evening, enjoy a soothing sunset\/night cruise aboard the Han River Ferry. Take time to reflect on the wonderful time you\u2019ve had touring South Korea and exposing yourself to a new culture on the opposite end of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And last? Head down to Gangnam to experience the best nightlife scene Seoul has to offer. And don\u2019t forget: \u201cOppa Gangnam Style!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve made it. Whew<\/em>\u2014nine days and counting. You\u2019ll probably feel exhausted by this point, especially after the all the partying you did in Gangnam the night before. Today, your last day in South Korea is all about shopping and buying souvenirs to take home. And that\u2019s as simple as it gets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best places to buy souvenirs are in Seoul\u2019s traditional markets, like Namdaemun Market and Dongdaemun Market. Furthermore, feel free to revisit Myeon-dong, and Insa-dong and Hongdae are also great options for a little retail therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What a fun-filled itinerary for 11 days in South Korea!
