South Korea Family Holiday

From a traditional Korean folk village to current K-pop culture, this eight-day trip will surely make the list of the best family holidays ever! You’ll explore South Korea’s capital, Seoul, with a walk through the bustling night market, scenic views over Naksan Mountain and plenty of free time to choose your own adventure. Visit the fascinating and sobering DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) from the South Korean side and see the impressive Gyeongbokgung Palace. Experience traditional Korean culture at Yongin Folk Village, chat to a monk at Girimsa Temple and make your own mala (Buddhist rosary). Explore the Golden City of Gyeongju and sleep in a traditional Hanok style accommodation. Head to Busan and check out the colourful Gamcheon Cultural Village and coastal scenery on the Haeundae Beach Train before toasting to a great adventure and making your way back to Seoul on a high-speed train – what a ride!

This trip includes one night of accommodation in a Hanok (traditional house) in Gyeongju with Korean-style floor bedding. You’ll sleep on a futon-like mattress placed on the floor – while floor bedding can be firm compared to standard western mattresses, the floors are heated and comfortable blankets and pillows are provided., The Korean temple visit provides a unique cultural experience, offering insight into Korean Buddhist way of life and the opportunity to participate in various traditional practices. Travelling with Intrepid means respecting local cultures and sensibilities, including dress codes, so be sure to have clothing that covers your shoulders and knees on this day.
