Korea View Basket

Due to its perfect location, situated almost half way to European destinations, Korea makes the perfect stopover destination en-route. However the country is a destination in its own right with so much to offer. Korea is a land of contrasts.

Seoul, the capital, is one of the most modern and populated metropolises on earth, bristling with neon and soaring towers, is also home to Ancient Palaces of the Silla Kingdom - some right in the heart of the city. Seoul is also a centre of fashion and cutting edge art - hip clothing shops and cafe's sit alongside traditional tea-houses and craft stores.

Away from its thriving capital a different Korea awaits the traveller. Vast National Parks are home to beautiful forests and wildlife as well as temples and heritage sites, many devoted to the rich Buddhist traditions which have been alive here for thousands of years. The south of the peninsula has a warm climate, wonderful beaches, islands and waterways. It is the home of the world renowned Hallyeo National Park and Jeju Island, both of which are favourite destinations with the locals.
