If your ‘Seoul’ yearns for an adventure, add a South Korea holiday to your bucket list. Sure, it might be pint-sized in comparison to its neighbours, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in personality and cultural attractions. First stop on the agenda, Jeju Island for a spot of R&R overlooking the stunning turquoise water before devouring your body weight in local seafood, which is caught by Jeju’s famous over-60 female deep-sea divers. Step up the pace a little (okay, a lot) and head into the bustling heart of Seoul to visit the iconic Gyeongbokgung Palace and Seoul Tower to gain a new perspective on the thriving metropolis. Culture seekers should make haste to Bukchon Hanok Village, one of Seoul’s main attractions, before marvelling at the historical Changdeokgung Palace. Need a break from sightseeing? Head to Lotte World – aka the world’s largest indoor amusement park – which attracts white-knuckle thrill-seekers and families like moths to a flame. Whether you're a history buff or just looking to have some fun in the city, South Korea is spirited, lively and full of ‘Seoul’.
