South Koreans may study and work some of the longest hours in the world, but they know how to play hard, too. As a result, Seoul has one of the most dynamic nightlife scenes in Asia, making it an ideal destination for party animals and night owls…if they can keep up with the locals, that is. So put on your party pants and a grab a soju for the road as we take you through everything you need to know about the city’s nightlife.
Food plays a big role in the daily life of South Koreans and with good reason! Korean food is absolutely delicious. Rice, vegetables and meats are most often used in preparing a variety of regional dishes like kimchi, gimbap and japchae, to name a few. Street food is very popular across South Korea and at stalls scattered all over, you can sample freshly made vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
Steeped in traditional culture, South Korea shows off its history and heritage proudly. Home to 11 UNESCO World Heritage sites that include temples, palaces and fortresses in cities like Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Jeju, learn all about the country’s imperial past. On your list of places to visit should be Haeinsa Temple, Jongmyo Shrine, and the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty.
