Jeju Island

3 days

Jeju Island — the pearl of Korea, where volcanoes meet the ocean and the landscapes look straight out of a K-drama.

It's a place of peace and inspiration: tangerine groves, tea plantations, waterfalls and a warm sea. Here you'll want to breathe deeper, dream bolder and live brighter.

Seongsan Ilchulbong is a volcanic peak in eastern Jeju and one of the island's most recognizable natural landmarks. The climb to the crater opens up panoramic views of the ocean and the east coast, and the peak itself resembles a huge natural bowl created by volcanic activity.

Seoul

5 days

Seoul is the city where Korea reveals itself in all its glory. Here, skyscrapers stand beside ancient palaces, street food sits alongside fine dining, and trendy districts neighbor cozy little streets.

In Seoul, you'll feel the rhythm of modern Korea, stroll through K-drama filming locations, step into the world of K-pop and, of course, see a city you'll never forget.

What awaits you
