Discover the best destinations in Korea - from ticket prices to opening hours and unique experiences
I've been traveling the world for years, but nothing prepared me for Korea. When I finally landed in Seoul, I had no idea this country would completely steal my heart. After months of exploring every corner, I'm sharing the three places that genuinely blew my mind - not the touristy stuff you'll find in every guidebook, but the spots that made me fall in love with this incredible country.
What I love about Korea is how it doesn't ask you to choose between old and new. You can watch a 600-year-old changing of the guard ceremony in the morning and be eating the most incredible street food in a neon-lit district by evening. It's this perfect chaos of tradition and innovation that makes every day here an adventure.
These three places? They're not just locations on a map. They're experiences that changed how I see travel. I'm sharing everything - the hidden spots, the best times to visit, what to actually expect, and the mistakes I made so you don't have to. Let's dive in.
I was completely mesmerized when I first stepped into Gyeongbokgung. The changing of the guard ceremony at 10 AM is something you absolutely can't miss - it's like stepping back 600 years in time. The palace grounds are massive, so wear comfortable shoes!
