South Korea is gaining popularity as a tourist destination, thanks to its rich culture and traditions, friendly locals, and beautiful natural scenery. It is the ideal alternative to Japan if you are looking to travel somewhere new in Northeast Asia.
Perhaps the most well known area in South Korea is the capital Seoul, a metropolis known for its technology and eclectic fashion, combined with ancient temples and palaces. Here you can wander the streets lined with blooming cherry blossoms, or vibrant foliage depending on the season. You can even see a brief glimpse of snow during the winter months.
The main attractions of South Korea aren’t just in Seoul. Visit the beautiful island of Jeju and snorkel or relax on the beaches, explore Jagalchi Fish Market in bustling Busan, or visit one of country’s many UNESCO World Heritage Listed sites in Gyeongju. Immersing yourself in one of the traditional Folk Villages is also essential, giving you a chance to learn about traditional architecture and history, while seeing how local residents still live in the villages.
If you are hoping for a look at elusive North Korea, the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) between the two countries is the closest you can get. This area is only accessible with a reputable tour company and military escort – something MW Tours can definitely assist with!

Why Travel to South Korea?
South Korea is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations in Northeast Asia, offering a rich cultural experience and breathtaking scenery. Often seen as an ideal alternative to Japan, South Korea holidays deliver just as much adventure, heritage, and scenic beauty — with fewer crowds and a different cultural flavour.
The country is home to friendly locals, delicious cuisine, and a rich history. Whether you’re wandering through bustling markets or relaxing in a tranquil temple, you’ll find yourself immersed in a nation that celebrates both innovation and tradition.
Seoul: A Dynamic Metropolis
No South Korea tour is complete without visiting the energetic capital, Seoul. Known for its technology, K-pop culture, and bold fashion scene, Seoul also offers serene Buddhist temples, royal palaces, and historic neighbourhoods.
Stroll through charming streets lined with cherry blossoms in spring, or admire fiery autumn foliage. In winter, enjoy a dusting of snow and the festive charm. Seoul offers something unique in every season.
Jeju Island: Nature and Relaxation
Our Jeju Island tours take you to this beautiful UNESCO-listed island, known for its volcanic landscapes, stunning coastlines, and tranquil beaches. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters, explore lava tubes, or relax by the sea. Jeju’s slower pace provides the perfect contrast to South Korea’s bustling cities.
Busan & Beyond: Coastal Charm
Experience Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city, famous for its fresh seafood, sandy beaches, and colourful villages. A visit to Jagalchi Fish Market is a must, where you can sample the daily catch or enjoy a traditional seafood meal. Busan’s mix of modernity and coastal beauty is a highlight of any South Korea holiday.
Gyeongju & UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Step back in time with our tours to Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom. Known as a “museum without walls,” the city is home to multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto. A walk through Gyeongju offers a glimpse into Korea’s rich past.
Hanok Villages: Live Korean Culture
Visiting a Hanok Village offers a true sense of Korean history and culture. These traditional homes, designed during the Joseon Dynasty, offer a look at life in Korea centuries ago. Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul and Jeonju Hanok Village are particularly popular stops on our South Korea tours.
DMZ: A Glimpse into North Korea
Our DMZ tours offer the closest view into North Korea. The heavily controlled area marks the border between North and South Korea and can only be visited with a military escort. MW Tours ensures a safe and informative experience, providing a unique perspective on the Korean conflict.
