About South Korea

About South Korea

More and more travellers are taking flights to South Korea because of the East Asian nation’s charm and intrigue. Having been quite an insular country under centuries of dynastic rule, in the 20th century its true identity emerged following 35 years of Japanese occupation and the Korean War with its northern neighbour.

South Korea shares the southern half of the mountainous Korean Peninsula with North Korea. The formerly united Korea was divided into two countries after the Second World War. China lies across the sea to the west of South Korea and Japan is just a short ferry ride away to the southeast.

More about South Korea

After a North-South war ended with an uneasy ceasefire in 1953, the South Korean economy grew significantly and the country was transformed into a major economy, a full democracy, and a regional power in East Asia. Since then, flights to South Korea have become increasingly popular for both businessmen and, more recently, holiday-makers.

South Korea is today a developed country with a very high standard of living. It is Asia’s fourth largest economy and the 15th largest in the world.

South Korea Attractions

South Korea Attractions

South Korea has numerous fortresses, temples and palaces to visit in addition to a significant beach-dotted coastline. You can find dazzling modern cities surrounded by beautiful rugged countryside, which, unfortunately or fortunately, few tourists venture into.

The landscape is made up of unspoiled mountains, rice paddies and fishing villages. There are also little-visited beautiful islands such as Dadohae Haesang National Park and Buyeo. A visit to the ancient city of Gyeongju is a must. Wander around the temples, pagodas and royal tombs.

On flights to South Korea, you will be arriving in the capital, Seoul, which winds around the Han River. Its vast number of impressive skyscrapers contributes to the city being one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Seoul is a great stopover point on flights to Korea, Japan and China.

Seoul is the seventh largest city in the world. It is a classic mix of the old and the new as towering skyscrapers and modern highways share space with traditional wooden houses and cobbled alleys.

A healthy mix of cultural, shopping and nightlife attractions keeps visitors busy in Seoul. Visit historic and cultural sites such as museums, temples and elegant palaces hosting cultural performances. Or take in some highly popular contemporary Korean cinema.
