Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju
Gyeongju was capital of the Silla Dynasty for almost a thousand years, and it brims with Buddhist sculptures and stone pagodas.
Seoul is a huge city with an old world charm; see its markets and palaces, and learn about Korean heritage at the National Folk Museum. In Busan, beautiful beaches and the vibrant Jagalchi fish market offer a view of South Korea’s maritime culture.
