Tourism in South Korea has been on the rise in the last few years, especially thanks to the surge in popularity of Korean popular culture around the world. If you’re thinking of putting this country on your bucket list, here are five cities you shouldn’t miss during your visit.
Seoul
Most people start their journey through South Korea from its capital of Seoul. Modern skyscrapers, ancient temples, and busy, vibrant streets co-exist in perfect harmony in this lively city.
Busan
South Korea’s second-most populous city will win you over with its picturesque beaches and parks, which rank as the most beautiful in the entire country.
Incheon
Incheon is one of South Korea’s major transportation hubs, but it’s worth sticking around thanks to the many tiny islands and beautiful beaches you’ll find nearby.
Daegu
If hanging out on the beaches and exploring skyscrapers simply isn’t your thing, get ready to explore the mountains, parks, and tiny temples of South Korea’s “Apple City”.
Daejeon
South Korea’s fifth-largest metropolis is pretty low-key when compared with Seoul and Busan, and it will win you over with its natural beauty and cultural heritage.
