The Itinerary
Touchdown in Seoul!
Welcome to South Korea! Your adventure kicks off as you land in the dazzling capital city of Seoul. After being greeted at the airport, you’ll transfer to your hotel where you can freshen up and settle in. Take a moment to soak in the energy: neon lights, bustling streets, and a skyline that never sleeps.
Seoul is a city where old and new blend seamlessly. Imagine strolling through ancient palaces and tranquil temples, then turning the corner to find high-tech towers, stylish cafés, and lively markets buzzing with life. Whether it’s the aroma of sizzling street food, the hum of K-pop in the air, or the charm of hidden alleyways waiting to be explored, Seoul is ready to sweep you off your feet.
Jogyesa Temple, Gyeongbok Palace & Namdaemun Market
Wake up ready to dive into the heart of Seoul! Start your morning at the tranquil Jogyesa Temple, where colourful lanterns and centuries-old traditions set a peaceful tone. From there, step into the grandeur of Gyeongbok Palace, one of Korea’s most famous landmarks. Don’t miss the impressive Royal Guard Changing Ceremony, a vibrant display of history brought to life.
Next, wander through Insadong Street, a lively hub of traditional shops, teahouses, and art galleries – perfect for picking up unique souvenirs. Then it’s time to get swept up in the energy of Namdaemun Market, where sizzling street food and endless stalls invite you to eat, shop, and explore.
As evening falls, ride the Namsan Cable Car up to Seoul Tower Observatory. From the top, take in panoramic views of the glittering city skyline, an unforgettable way to end your first full day in South Korea.
Free Day!
Today is all yours to explore Seoul at your own pace. Dive deeper into the city’s buzzing neighbourhoods, from the chic boutiques of Gangnam to the quirky, youth-filled streets of Hongdae. If you’re a foodie, hunt down the city’s best street eats or treat yourself to a traditional Korean barbecue feast.
Prefer something slower? Unwind at a local jjimjilbang (Korean spa), sip tea in a quiet teahouse, or simply stroll through one of Seoul’s beautiful parks. However you choose to spend the day, Seoul’s mix of culture, shopping, and charm ensures there’s no wrong answer.
Head to Busan
After breakfast at your hotel, make your way to Seoul Station and hop aboard the sleek KTX bullet train. In just a few hours, you’ll glide across the country to the vibrant coastal city of Busan.
On arrival, head to your hotel and check in. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure, whether that means taking a stroll along the beach, sampling Busan’s famous seafood, or simply relaxing and soaking in the new city vibes.
Haedong Yonggunsa, Taejeongdae Park, Gamcheon Culture Village & Busan Blueline Sky Capsule
After breakfast, head to Busan Station to join your full-day sightseeing tour of this lively coastal city. First up is the stunning Haedong Yonggunsa Temple, perched dramatically on the cliffs overlooking the sea, a picture-perfect blend of spirituality and scenery.
Continue to Taejeongdae Park, famous for its rugged coastline, lush greenery, and sweeping ocean views. Next, step into the colourful maze of Gamcheon Culture Village, where winding alleys, vibrant murals, and quirky art installations bring this hillside community to life.
Your day wraps up with a ride on the Busan Blueline Sky Capsule from Mipo to Cheonsapo. Glide along the coast in your private capsule, soaking up spectacular seaside views. After the tour, return to your hotel and enjoy the evening at leisure.
Free Day!
Today is all yours to experience Busan at your own pace. Spend the day unwinding on Haeundae Beach or strolling along Gwangalli Beach with its stunning bridge views. For a cultural touch, visit the bustling Jagalchi Fish Market to see (and taste!) the freshest seafood in town.
If you’re in the mood for shopping, explore the trendy boutiques of Seomyeon or the underground malls near Busan Station. Or, keep things relaxed with a seaside walk, a cosy café stop, or a quiet temple visit. However you choose to spend it, Busan’s laid-back charm and ocean backdrop make this free day unforgettable.
Free Day! Back to Seoul
Enjoy a relaxed morning in Busan before making your way to Busan Station. Board the KTX bullet train and speed back to Seoul, arriving in the early afternoon.
Once you’ve transferred to your hotel and checked in, the rest of the day is free for you to enjoy as you wish. Whether you’d like to revisit a favourite spot, do some last-minute shopping, or simply unwind and prepare for your final night in South Korea, the evening is yours.
Farewell, South Korea!
All good things must come to an end. Check out of your hotel, catch your transfer to the airport, and head home with memories of South Korean adventure you’ll never forget.
