Is it worth traveling halfway around the world to visit South Korea<\/strong>? For those unfamiliar with what this country offers travelers, it might seem easier to choose a closer destination with more familiar sights, saving a few hours on the plane. For such a long journey, many people end up choosing Japan, its popular neighbor. Perhaps for this reason, most tourists in South Korea are local or from nearby Asian countries, and foreign visitors from further afield are less common\u2014a fact that stood out to us.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even we, as regular and passionate travelers in Asia, took years of traveling around the continent before finally considering a visit. This was a shame, as South Korea\u2014renowned for its cutting-edge technology\u2014also carefully preserves its traditions, beautifully represented in the hanok folk villages, some of which are remarkably well preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Welcome
Welcome to South Korea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

South Korea, thanks to its unique location and geography, is fortunate to offer a little bit of everything: extensive coastlines with beaches, islands, and fishing villages; a central region filled with national parks; and vibrant cities where you could spend weeks exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few destinations make you feel as welcome, with South Korea’s orderly environment and the kindness and good manners of its people, who have no trouble smiling and are always ready to share a warm gesture with a foreign family or young child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
