The Korean peninsula has a rich history and culture. Many monuments are perfectly preserved and perfectly coexist with modern skyscrapers. It:

• 5 royal palaces of Seoul - Changdeokgung, Gyeongbokgung, Deoksugung, Changgyeonggung, and Gyeonghigun;
• the fortress and hanok village in Choju, the ancient capital of Baekje;
• the Haedongungsa temple in Busan from the Goryeo period;
• royal tombs Gyeongju, the capital of Silla;
• and many other attractions.

The area of South Korea is only 100,210 km², but there are as many as 20 national parks in this territory. The attitude towards nature is very careful here! The country has Seoraksan, Odaesan, Diamond Mountains, Jeju Volcanic Island, Garden morning calm, where the magnificent nature!

And after overcoming the economic crisis, the Koreans began to actively plant vegetation in cities and create a variety of park areas. Therefore, Seoul and other megacities are very green and comfortable.

3. Shopping

South Korea is one of the few countries in the world where it is difficult to find Made in China products. In Korean stores, you will see Korean products from local brands, including LG and Samsung. The exception is branded boutiques or shopping centers where they sell products of foreign brands.

Brands in Korea are very popular, and the more expensive and famous it is, the more people will buy it. It's not uncommon to see a grandmother with a Gucci handbag here.

Korean cosmetics, household chemicals and food products are in great demand all over the world due to their excellent quality. But the Koreans themselves say that what is exported is of lower quality than what is sold in Korea. So come here for shopping!

4. Food

Koreans believe that a good appetite is a sign of good health. Therefore, they eat a lot here, rarely alone, and when they meet, they ask not “how are you?”, but “have you already eaten?”. Didn't eat - bad, you have to eat.

Fans of delicious food will like this country. The cuisine is the most diverse: spicy, not spicy, sweet, sour, salty, lean, vegan - for every taste and budget.

Koreans don't eat dogs. They don't eat. And they get very upset when you think they are eating. In North Korea, of course, the conversation is different. Everyone has to eat there.

5. Health

Medical tourism to South Korea is in high demand. Cosmetic clinics, plastic clinics, university hospitals where complex operations are performed - there is a service for any need. In addition, tea ceremonies, retreats, and visits to the traditional Korean bath contribute to healing.

6. Prices

South Korea is quite an expensive country. Hostels cost from 25-30 dollars per bed, a hotel room - 50-80 dollars per night for double occupancy. Prices depend on the season, region and day of the week - prices are higher on weekends and during peak seasons.

Food prices start from a couple of dollars for street food and 10-20 dollars for lunch or dinner in a cafe or restaurant. Eating in a good traditional restaurant or in a haute cuisine establishment at some hotel will cost from $40-50 per person and more.
