Meet the local stall holders in the Gwangang market of Netflix fame and try the best street food that Seoul has to offer. Then, wander the Jagalchi market – a huge seafood wonderland by the Busan port.

-
Rub shoulders with the locals in a hanok (traditional home) in Jeonju, then learn about the everyday life of monks during a unique temple experience in Gyeongju.
-
Feast on all the iconic foods of South Korea, including Korean fried chicken, bibimbap, japchae, kimbap, a seafood barbeque and of course, Korean BBQ.
- Hotel rooms:
- Many South Korean hotels have a limited supply of twin rooms. If you are a couple travelling, please advise at the time of booking if you would like double bedding. Please note that double bed size tends to be smaller in South Korea than the normal western standard, closer to a queen size bed. It's possible to book twin share rooms where you may push the two beds together into a large bed, but this is not guaranteed.
- Air-conditioning & Heating:
- Air-conditioning is not usually turned on until the warmer season. The traditional housing has floor heating.
- Hanok Stay:
- Your mattress will be on the floor. If you find that the surface is too hard, you can stack the bedding or ask for an extra mattress.
