]]>A perfect place to start is the country’s capital Seoul. If you’ve never been there before, the place will wow you with incredible, modern architecture. Some of the buildings that stand out are the Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Ewha University, Kring Kumho Culture Complex, and more.
Korean food is popular around the world, but the best place to try it is, of course, South Korea. Start with Korean barbecue if you’re up for grilled meats and side dishes. You can also try fermented vegetables (kimchi) and tteokbokki rice cakes.
Korea’s city life is incredible, but you also need to check out the amazing nature around the country. The best place to visit if you’re staying in Seoul is the Bukhansan National Park. Spend a quiet day exploring the big forests and numerous temples that perfectly contrast the noisy city life.

]]>However, if you are looking to escape the big city bustle on an occasion or two while in Seoul, you’re in luck because there are plenty of great things to see and do in close proximity. Here are three to keep in mind!
Located in the city of Suwon to the south of Seoul is the fascinating Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has stood since the late 1700s. This fortress can be easily accessed and its walls and impressive towers are a place where you can get lost for hours.
Jeonju, a medium-sized city of over 600,000 inhabitants is just under 2-hours away from Seoul on a modern high-speed rail line. Here, you’ll find the perfect opportunity to get lost in the city’s hilltop pavilions, religious shrines, and local restaurants and bars to try the region’s local rice wine.
Are you looking to escape to nature in order to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of Seoul? If so, you should definitely make Nami Island a stop on your list. A boat will take you to this small island in the Han River where you can get lost in its forests, gardens, and agricultural fields on foot for hours.

]]>The donuts at this store may not look any different from any others you can find at similar Instagram-friendly shops around the world. What makes them unique is their delicious filling, and you’ll be quite satisfied with your pick after taking a bite.
Despite the fact they serve a wide range of donuts with many tasty fillings and colorful toppings, their most popular treat isn’t something you can order at any other donut store. Tiny Homer Simpson-inspired pink sprinkle donuts are served in a cup, floating on latte foam and you shouldn’t leave Old Ferry Donut without trying this signature treat.
If you’re not a huge donut fan, ice cream shop Salty Bob is located downstairs, and it should satisfy your cravings for something sweet, but most people enjoy checking out both joints because their desserts are equally tasty.
