Places to visit in Korea

Plenty to see...

Definitely in Seoul, there are many options. don%26#39;t miss seeing Insadong and the palaces, those are the top places to visit. Also, Myon-dong is the top modern area to visit. There is so much to see. A half day trip to the DMZ is very interesting as well, there are a number of tour companies that do this trip.

Outside of Seoul there is a lot of places to see as well. We went to Gyonju in south-eastern south korea, this area has the most history and ancient shilla dynasty relics. It is about three hours from Seoul by bus.

I also recommend Jeju Island which requires a flight from Seoul and also the Seorak Mountains, which are about three hours from Seoul by bus.

Have a good time!

The Korean Folk Village near Seoul is a great way to see some of the arts, crafts, culture and history of Korea.

Also, be sure to go to the Korean War Memorial and Museum.

Don%26#39;t miss a walk around the traditional area of Bukchon (North Village) right in central Seoul. Visit www.hanokgirl.net to find out more.
