Riviera Travel: Highlights of South Korea

South Korea is a nation of contrasts. Seoul – the capital – is a neon-lit metropolis with a blend of futuristic skyscrapers, elaborate temples, and traditional markets. But step outside the cities, and you’ll find a mountainous country with history hidden amongst the trees. We’ll visit the DMZ (Demilitarised Zone), a rare opportunity to view North Korea and delve into the history and current state of affairs on the Korean Peninsula. We’ll admire South Korea’s beautiful countryside on a visit to Seoraksan National Park and wander the colourful streets of Gamcheon Culture Village, where art and history come to life in creative displays. You’ll also have the opportunity to deepen your connection with Korean culture during a hands-on cooking class, where you can try your hand at preparing traditional Korean dishes.

This holiday is ideal for those seeking a blend of history, culture and nature.
