Seoul: Where Korea’s Past Meets Its Future
Discover the Many Sides of Seoul
Seoul in South Korea
- 8 Days, 7 Nights
- Double Occupancy
- 30 October - 6 November 2027
- South Korea
Hosted by Anastasia Vasileiou
Seoul is a city of contrasts that rarely slows down. Centuries-old palaces, Buddhist temples and traditional hanok houses share the city with futuristic architecture, vast shopping districts and neighborhoods shaped by music, fashion and design. Walk through the grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace, explore the lanes of Bukchon and Insadong, then cross into the bright streets of Myeongdong or the creative energy of Hongdae.
Some of Seoul’s best experiences happen between the landmarks. Follow the aromas through Gwangjang Market, sit down for Korean barbecue, discover the city’s distinctive café culture or watch the skyline light up from Namsan. Each neighborhood has its own rhythm, making Seoul a city worth exploring slowly—one street, dish and unexpected discovery at a time.

Continue to the craft shops and teahouses of Insadong, ending at Namsan Seoul Tower as the city lights up below you.
Market Adventure & Korean BBQ Experience
Taste your way through century-old Gwangjang Market, from golden mung bean pancakes to handmade kalguksu noodles. Walk it off along the serene Cheonggyecheon Stream, then gather around a charcoal grill in Myeongdong for a premium Korean barbecue of Hanwoo beef with traditional banchan.

Cook a Korean classic in a private class and enjoy it for lunch, then find your centre at Sinyet Chatjip, a traditional tea house glowing with paper lanterns. Create your own mother-of-pearl keepsake, wander Namsangol Hanok Village, and end the day with a sunset picnic at Banpo Hangang Park.

Ride the KTX bullet train to Busan. Visit Haedong Yonggungsa, a 14th-century temple on a cliff above the East Sea, glide along the shore on the Haeundae Blue Line train and wander the pastel lanes of Gamcheon Culture Village. Soar above the harbour on the Busan Air Cruise cable car before tasting street food in Nampo-dong.
Gyeongju & Meditation at Bulguksa
Travel to Gyeongju to see the great Buddha of Seokguram Grotto and the UNESCO-listed Bulguksa Temple, where a private guided meditation unfolds in the quiet of the temple grounds. After lunch, stroll among the royal tombs of Daereungwon and watch Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond light up at sunset.
