South Korea has become one of Asia's most compelling travel destinations, and not just because of K-pop and K-drama (though both are very much on display in Seoul). The capital is extraordinary — ultra-modern infrastructure layered over ancient palace grounds, a street food scene centred on Myeongdong and Gwangjang Market, and a nightlife district in Itaewon that runs until dawn.
Beyond Seoul: Busan's coastal energy and Jagalchi fish market, the preserved Hanok village of Jeonju, the volcanic island of Jeju, and the ski resorts of PyeongChang in winter.
Spring (late March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit — cherry blossoms and autumn foliage respectively, and mild temperatures. Summers are hot and humid; winters are bitterly cold. For Australians, the AUD goes reasonably far against the Korean won, and direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne take around 10 hours.
