With its scenic beauty
and unique cultural and historical heritage, Korea has a lot to offer visitors.
A peninsular country with four distinct seasons, Korea boasts picturesque
valleys, mountains, rivers and beaches. Throughout this beautiful natural landscape,
there are numerous ancient temples and shrines, royal palaces, sculptures,
pagodas, archeological sites, fortresses, folk villages and museums.
Seoul is a city steeped
in the past yet anxious to embrace modernity, and this makes it one of Asia's
most interesting and culturally vibrant destinations. From food, galleries,
ancient palaces, museums, and shopping, this city has it all.

Busan is Korea's second
largest city. Tourists often come to

the most frequented temples in the area and is always packed with worshipers
and tourists. For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical
buildings.
