Where to walk in South Korea

  • Busan (3 tours): Korea's great port and second city, a place of painted refugee villages stacked above the sea, the largest fish market in the country, and cliff paths where an alley can end at a drop to the breakwater. A city rebuilt from the Korean War that turned its hardship into color.
  • Seoul (3 tours): The Joseon dynasty's capital and a megacity of ten million, where a six-hundred-year-old palace sits under a guardian mountain and tile-roofed hanok lanes fold between glass towers. Walk the old grammar of kings, craft, and tea that still runs underneath the neon.
