If you want to get away for a day, head to Everland in Yongin. It’s Korea’s largest theme park and is located south west of Seoul and can be reached by bus in around one and a half hours. Everland Resort has everything including thrilling amusement rides, sledding, safari park, kids’ village and much more.
For a day trip with a little more ‘edge’ to it, you can take an organised tour to the DMZ. This is the demilitarized zone that separates South Korea from North Korea. It’s heavily guarded by South Korean and US military forces, while the North Korean side is equally guarded by their military. There's no chance of crossing the border, but at least you can look across and see for yourself one of the world’s most sensitive areas. Photography is restricted in many parts of the DMZ, so always ask an official if it’s ok to take pictures.
What to eat in Seoul?
As Seoul is a world-class capital city, you can find an incredible range of foods, both international and local. The quality of international foods is high, but most visitors don’t travel all the way to seoul, just to eat burgers and fries. Local Korean food is the main attraction in Seoul, and it’s delicious. Try samgyetang, a delicious ginseng-chicken soup or Korean BBQ, known locally as Gogigui. It’s pork or beef-based and you can throw many vegetables or spices into the mix while it cooks at your table. It goes well with one of Korea’s favorite beverages, Soju, a strong and tasty rice liquor. With one of our terrific travel packages to Seoul, you can enjoy all the great tastes of Korean food, every day.
