Seoul, South Korea
South Korea is known for how much it offers—on every corner, something is happening. In Seoul, you’ll see the city through its defining contrasts: the energy of Myeongdong, the modern edge of Dongdaemun Design Plaza, and the quiet history of Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Time is also spent where the city feels most lived-in, from eating through Gwangjang Market to exploring neighborhoods like Seongsu-dong and Hannam-dong, so you experience Seoul fully, with intention.
