Tour Overview
The 8D Seoul & Busan Discovery is ideal for travellers who want more than a city break.
Begin in Seoul, South Korea's dynamic capital, where centuries-old palaces and traditional neighbourhoods stand alongside modern shopping districts and contemporary attractions.
Explore Gyeongbokgung Palace, experience traditional Korean culture, visit Seoul Central Mosque and enjoy time in the city's popular shopping areas.
Leave the city behind for a day and travel to Nami Island, where scenic tree-lined paths and peaceful countryside create one of Korea's most memorable landscapes. Continue with the fun Gangchon Rail Bike experience before returning to Seoul.
The second half of the journey takes you south by KTX high-speed train to Busan.
Here, discover a completely different atmosphere through colourful neighbourhoods, coastal viewpoints, beaches, markets and the vibrant energy of Korea's southern city.
