South Korea Golden Route

Start & end in Incheon 8 days Up to 20

About this trip

Eight days moving through South Korea's cities and countryside, from the pace of Seoul to the quieter scenery around Seoraksan.

You'll take in historic sites and old traditions alongside modern city life, with stops in Jeonju and Busan rounding out the route.

This is a group trip built for sightseeing and culture rather than downtime, suited to families and anyone wanting a first proper look at the country.

  • Explore Seoul's streets and city sights
  • Take in the mountain scenery of Seoraksan
  • Discover Jeonju's traditional side
  • Experience Busan's mix of modern and historic Korea
  • Visit historic sites tied to Korea's past
Good to know
  • Multi-city itinerary — expect to change base several times over the 8 days
  • Geared toward sightseeing and culture rather than beach or adventure activities
  • Suitable for families travelling as a group
