At Budget Travel, we take care of everything - flights, accommodation, and tours - so all you have to do is show up and soak it all in.
What Awaits You in South Korea
South Korea is a destination that genuinely has it all. Ancient history sits side by side with cutting-edge modernity, and the food alone is worth the flight.
Seoul - Where tradition meets the future
Spend days exploring Gyeongbokgung Palace, the grand main palace of the Joseon dynasty, where the daily Changing of the Guards ceremony still draws a crowd. Climb the N Seoul Tower Observatory for sweeping panoramic views of the city, then lose yourself in Myeongdong - Seoul's buzzing shopping and street food district, where vendors line the streets with everything from Korean skincare to sizzling tteokbokki.
Busan - South Korea's coastal gem
South Korea's second city delivers beautiful beaches, breathtaking temples, and some of the freshest seafood you'll ever taste. Visit the stunning Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, perched right along the shoreline and first built during the Goryeo Dynasty in 1376. Wander the colourful hillside lanes of Gamcheon Cultural Village - nicknamed the "Machu Picchu of Busan" - or browse the bustling Yeongdo Namhang Market for local flavours and fresh catches.
Gyeongju - Korea's open-air museum
History lovers, this one is for you. Gyeongju served as the royal capital of the Silla Kingdom for over 1,000 years, and its legacy is everywhere. Marvel at Bulguksa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses six national treasures of South Korea. Stroll through Gyochon Hanok Village, where traditional stone-walled houses shelter cafes, craft shops, and living museums that tell the story of Korea's ancient past.
Daegu - Markets, temples, and local life
Daegu offers a more authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience. Discover Donghwasa Temple, home to a jaw-dropping 17-metre Buddha statue or browse Seomun Market - one of Korea's largest traditional markets - where you can pick up souvenirs, sample street food, and watch local life unfold at its own pace.
