Tour Objects

Full

Gwangan Bridge

A picturesque 2-storey bridge over the sea in Busan is one of its most exquiste landmarks.

Gamcheon Culture Village

A very piquturesque district in Busan, which was originally founded by some refugees during the Korean War.

 

Haeundae Beach; Camellia Island

Most popular beach in Busan and a vivid resort district.

Kukje Sijang (International Market)

Once - a place of barter between Koreans and foreigners, now it is a busy shopping area, quite civilized.

This market owes its origin to the Korean War.

Busan Cinema Center & Shinseygey Sentum Department Store

Sinsege Sentum department store got into the Guinness Book of Records. This is the world's largest department store.

Nearby is another Guinness record: the world's largest cantilever roof. It belongs to the Busan Cinerma Center building.

Jagalchi Fish Market

The largest seafood market in Korea, where you can see all kinds of marine creatures, both from the plant and animal worlds (and from the border worlds too!).

You can also eat deliciously at the market: fried or raw fish, as well as seafood, is served at the table in numerous restaurants in the market.

If you prefer something less exotic, we recommend the food court at the Lotte department store next door. The observation deck at the department store offers a magnificent view of Busan from a bird's eye view.

United Nations Memorial Cemetery

This is the only such kind of cemetery in the world. During the Korean War UN forces sided with the Republic of Korea. They consisted of not only the US forces as it is sometimes thought. Many of those foreign nationals who died during the war are buried in this cemetery.

Master class cooking noodles "Makguksu"

In the city of Chungcheong, we will have a master class for making traditional cold buckwheat noodles "makguksu". They did what they ate! The noodles prepared by us will be our dinner. Delicious sauce of your choice (spicy and slightly spicy, or salty, based on soy sauce, attached).

The Garden of Morning Calm

Garden of Morning Calm was founded by Mr. Han Sangkyeon in 1996. This private garden is rightfully recognized as one of the most beautiful in South Korea. The name comes from the poetic name of Korea - "Land of the Morning Calm". The founder and his team tried to introduce the natural beauty of Korea, the oriental mystique and the spirit of the Korean people to visitors.

The design of the garden focuses on curved lines, space, balance and asymmetry, unique natural beauty, classic elegance and the uniqueness of Korea.

During each of the four seasons - winter, spring, summer, autumn - you will find in the garden echoes of a particular "theme" of that season...

Cheomseongdae Ancient Observatory

Cheomseongdae is one of the oldest observatories in the world (7th century). The tower of the observatory is full of symbolism: the total number of hewn stones from which it is built; the number of rows of these stones before and above the small window, the shape of the stones... Reasonable Silakians paid attention to everything.

Cheomseongdae was built under the reigning Queen Seondok - one of three in the history of Silla. The queen ended up in a drama that, of course, was filmed in Gyeongju.

Seokkuram

The Buddha statue in this small temple in an artificial grotto is considered the most elegant in All of Korea! The grotto is located on the slope of Mount Tkhohamsan, where the winding serpentine of the mountain road leads.


The walk to the temple through the mountain forest from the parking lot takes about 15-20 minutes; depending on the weather, either a mysterious foggy landscape awaits us (fogs are not uncommon on this mountain), or breathtaking bird's-eye views of the thousand-year-old Gyeongju.


In the grotto, which is formally the hermitage of the Bulguksa temple, located below the slope, the dominant position is occupied by the above-mentioned statue of Buddha, sitting in a lotus position on a pedestal in the shape of a lotus. Around it at different heights are bas-reliefs and statues of bodhisattvas, arhats, Indra and Brahma, the Four Heavenly Kings.


If the group agrees, we can go down the mountainside to the temple of Bulguksa.

Bulguksa

The main Buddhist temple of United Silla, it is now a place of pilgrimage for many guests of Korea.

The temple was built in 774 under the leadership of the premier of the state of Silla, Kim Taesong. Legend has it that Bulguksa was dedicated to the parents of the current, so to speak, Kim Taesong. While Seokguram, the temple-hermitage under Bulguksa, was intended for Kim Taesung's parents from his previous incarnations.

In 1995, Bulguksa and Seokguram were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Bunhwangsa

The main state Gyeongju temple from the Silla period, the "Temple of the Yellow Dragon", Hwanyeongsa, has not survived; however, we still have a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the pagoda of a hermitage temple of Hwanyeongsa. The hermitage temple is called Punghwansa.

The peculiarity of the pagoda of Punghwansa is that it is built of stones, hewn in such a way that they resemble bricks in shape. What can you not do if you are not familiar with the technology (brick production, in this case)!

Heavenly Horse Mound

The only mound which inner parts are open to the public (though filled with replicas, it shows the inner construction of a Shilla mound)

Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond

Though made anew, it is a nice and quite picturesque place, especially at night.

Kimnyeong Maze Park

Kimnyeong Maze Park (Korean: 김녕미로공원) is a charming maze park located in Jeju City.

The maze impresses with its scale and beauty. The hedges are formed from evergreen trees that remain lush and green throughout the year. The unique scent of these trees, combined with the volcanic basalt stones paving the park's paths, creates a refreshing atmosphere that energizes travelers as they navigate the winding routes of the maze.

This park is popular among people of all ages and is especially beloved by families. It is not only an excellent destination for couples, children, and adults but is also recognized as one of the most cherished spots among Jeju residents.

Manjanggul Lava Tube

Manjanggul – an epic tunnel formed by molten lava millions of years ago.

Its length stretches an impressive 8.928 kilometers, with a width of up to 23 meters and a height of 30 meters. Manjanggul proudly ranks as the 12th longest lava tube on Earth and the 2nd longest on Jeju Island. However, only a portion of the cave is open to visitors.

This geological masterpiece is part of the renowned Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is home to a 7.6-meter-high lava column—the largest ever discovered on planet Earth—alongside magnificent lava stalactites, stalagmites, and shelves.

But that’s not all! Manjanggul is not only a monument to geology but also a habitat for fascinating creatures. It hosts the enigmatic Jeju cave-spider and Korea’s largest colony of bent-wing bats, numbering over 30,000 individuals.

In short, Manjanggul is a must-visit destination for anyone fascinated by volcanic artistry, biodiversity, or the thrill of walking through Earth’s ancient fiery veins.

Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak)

Seongsan Ilchulbong (Korean: 성산일출봉), also known as Sunrise Peak, is a stunning volcanic formation located on the eastern side of Jeju Island. Rising to a height of 182 meters, this natural wonder features a volcanic crater at its summit, offering breathtaking views of the island's landscapes.

Seongsan Ilchulbong is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site listing under Jeju Island and its lava tubes, recognized for its geological and scenic significance. A visit to this magnificent peak promises an unforgettable encounter with Jeju's natural beauty.

Spirited Garden jeju

Spirited Garden jeju is one of the most famous world's bonsai (punje in Korean) gardens.

Hallim Park

The biggest park and botanical garden in Jeju. Consists of 9 zones.

Yongmeori Coast

Yongmeori Coast, whose name translates to "Dragon Head," is famous for its dramatic cliffs resembling a dragon's head plunging into the sea. These cliffs, formed from volcanic rock millions of years ago, offer a unique landscape that attracts photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. During low tide, visitors can walk along the rocky shore, feel the sea breeze, and admire the breathtaking scenery. You might also encounter local haenyeo (female divers) selling freshly caught seafood straight from the ocean.

Cheonggyechon Stream

A blend of nature and urban design, this stream winds through downtown Seoul — though entirely man-made today.
Once a natural river, it was buried after the Korean War and revived in 2005 as a tranquil walkway.
Fountains, illuminated bridges, and the Palgakdam weir make it one of the city’s most beloved evening spots.

Seoul City Hall

A futuristic glass wave rises above the old City Hall, blending past and future in one bold design.
Powered by nature and home to the world’s largest indoor vertical garden, it’s one of Seoul’s greenest landmarks.
Open to visitors — step inside and see the living wall for yourself.

Hongdae

A youth district with a large number of various music clubs, cafes (including specific ones with cats, dogs, arctic foxes, meerkats and kangaroos running underfoot). The name of the district comes from Hongdae University located here.

Changdeokgung Palace

Changdeokgung - "Palace of Flourishing Virtue", built between 1405 and 1412, was the home for the kings of Joseon throughout most of the kingdom's 500-year history (1392-1897). It was also the residence of the last ruler of the Korean Empire.

The palace was destroyed during the Imjin War (1592-1598) and was restored in 1609. From 1623 to 1868, it served as the official residence of Korean kings. Since 1997, the Palace of Flourishing Virtue has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

World Cup Stadium

On June 25, 2002, South Korea lost the battle to reach the finals against Germany. She lost at this stadium, built in Seoul on the eve of the 2002 FIFA World Cup.


But can this loss be considered a defeat? Perhaps this was the greatest achievement of the Korean team. Crowds of fans dressed in all red filled the streets and squares not only of Seoul, but of the whole country ...


But we digress. The stadium is Asia's 2nd largest rectangular stadium and is built to resemble a traditional Korean kite in shape. And yes, it was he who became the unwitting culprit of the emergence of a unique urban space - the Park of Culture of the Oil Storage...

Bongunsa Temple

Temple of Bongeunsa is located in close proximity to the COEX Convention and Exhibition Center.

Originally named Gyeongseongsa, it was built by King Wonseong of the Silla Kingdom in the 10th year of his reign (794 AD).

In 1498, thanks to Queen Jeonghyeon, it was renovated and expanded to the east of King Seongjong's tomb, and at that time it was given its new name - Bongeunsa.

The iconic view of COEX is visible from the Maitreya Buddha statue on the temple grounds.

War Memorial

The museum, located in the Yongsan district of Seoul, was opened in 1994 on a site that the city inherited from military units.


First of all, the museum is dedicated, of course, to the Korean War (1950-1953). But not only: all the wars waged between themselves and with neighboring countries by the states that were on the Korean Peninsula from the Bronze Age to the present are displayed in the museum's exposition.

Oil Tank Culture Park

The open space, created on the site of a former oil storage facility, is an eco-park and cultural spaces created by rethinking and rebuilding former tanks for kerosene, diesel, etc. Tank No. 6 was not recreated, but created from scratch: the material (steel) left after the partial dismantling of Tanks No. 1 and No. 2 went to its walls.

If you are a fan of urbanism, modern art, modern ways of implementing open spaces, or just want to enjoy the harmony of industrial design and nature, you will definitely like Oil Tank Culture Park.

Starfield Library

This breathtaking library in COEX Mall features towering bookshelves and a stunning architectural design. It's an ideal spot for book lovers and those looking for a unique photo backdrop. The natural lighting and open space make it perfect for both wide shots and close-ups.

Gangnam Style Horse Dance Statue

K-Star Road

Welcome to K-Star Road, the amazing star road in the heart of Seoul!

K-Star Road, or "Road of the Stars", is a beautiful and popular place where Korean stars seem to have made their mark.

Here you will find many GangnamDol figurines representing various Korean stars. Find your heroes - and take a photo with them as a keepsake.

Along K-Star Road you will find many boutiques of world brands. Perhaps those same stars sometimes look into these boutiques too?..

Seoraksan National Park: cable car, Sinheung-sa, Swaying rock

There is a gondola in the park, which we will use to get almost to the top of one of the peaks of Seoraksan, on which the ruins of the ancient Kwonggeum Fortress (lit., "Kwon Geum Fortress") are located. We get to the peak on foot - it's about 20-30 minutes. From this peak, a magnificent panorama of the East Sea, the resort town of Sokcho and the mountain range of the park opens.

Not far from the lower gondola station is Sineungsa Temple (originally built in the 6th century, but later rebuilt many times). The temple complex includes a statue of the Buddha of Unification (Thonil Buddha), the name of which reflects the desire of Koreans to unite the country.

A picturesque route leads us to Hyndyl Pawi ("swinging rock"). A huge rock will sway at the touch of one person.

Optional, if everybody is in: hiking to the top of Mount Ulsan Pawi; you will have to strain a little - the height of the rock is 873 m.

Nagan Eupseong

600-year-old village surrounded by a stone wall

Suncheon Bay Ecological Park

Ecopark is famous for its thickets of reeds, reaching heights higher than human height. This is the densest reed thickets in all of Korea.

Hwaseong Haenggung (Temporary palace)

During such serious campaigns of the ruling king, as, say, visiting the graves of his ancestors, the king had to stop somewhere on the way. In the Hwaseong fortress, such a travel palace has been preserved. Charming and small by the standards of Seoul, however, it is a real intricate maze, which we will dive into to get to know the history of King Jeongjo, his parents and grandfather, as well as the famous banquet he hosted in honor of the anniversary of his mother , Queen Hongyeong.

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress

Hwaseong is more than just a fortress — it’s a royal dream set in stone. In the late 18th century, King Jeongjo envisioned building a new capital of the Joseon Dynasty here: modern, fortified, and meticulously planned.

The project was designed by the brilliant reformer Jeong Yakyong, one of the leading figures of the “Practical Learning” movement. For the first time in Korean history, both Korean and European engineering techniques were used in construction.

👉 By the way, why did the king never move to his new capital?

Thanks to detailed blueprints from 1800, the fortress has been faithfully restored — and today, it’s recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

Starfield Suwon Library

The Starfield Library in Suwon is not only a paradise for book enthusiasts but also one of the most popular photography spots in the area. With its impressive bookshelves stretching from floor to ceiling, the library provides a unique backdrop for your photos, making each capture special. This visually stunning cultural hub will be a highlight of your trip to Suwon.

The village recreates in detail the atmosphere of rural life of the Joseon era. Buildings were brought from all regions of Korea: here you will also find houses made of volcanic tuff from about. Jeju (and the famous black pigs from there, by the way!), And thatched houses from the southern provinces of Korea, and the house of the provincial governor, and the Confucian village school. You can taste traditional Korean dishes at the village market.

The journey begins with a fascinating walk through the narrow streets surrounded by traditional Korean houses - hanoks. Each house is a living museum that reflects the unique style and architecture of ancient times.
